Personally I don't see a significant portion of the Reddit user base leaving over this. Basically every major and minor city in the USA has its own subreddit. How many of those users are really going to leave and switch back to Facebook groups?

And how many are actually run by the city government?


None, but what does that matter? These are community-created microforums, which probably wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for Reddit.


Many community-created pages for cities are run BY the city themselves on Facebook. That's my point.
