I haven’t been on Reddit since the API mess. How are most users reacting to this news? I would assume either not happy, but ultimately don’t care or ignorant completely.
It is and has been a mainstream site for a while now. It’s followed the same trajectory as Facebook. The typical user only cares about the topics that interest them. They have zero interest in what’s happening in the background and are fully accustomed to being blasted in the face with ads 24/7.
Recommend reading some of the comments:

Interesting. Similar comments between Reddit and Lemmy on this topic. Like very similar but the tone on Reddit is of the victims whereas here we are wondering why they are still over there when they do not have to be.
From what I gathered the vast majority of them don't know the fediverse exists. Lot of "where do we go". But I saw a couple of comments mention it.
Whoa there, pardner! If posting a reddit URL, please use old.reddit.com instead of www.reddit.com so those of us using privacy tools can still access it.
Edit: Is it just me, or are some reddit links with old.reddit requiring a login?
You've been getting blocked too while logged out? "Woah there partner.."? Here's a working link though, https://old.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1axll4s/reddit_files_to_go_public_reveals_that_it_paid/
All my reddit links open in the old version because I set it as the default in the preferences of new Reddit. Maybe you could do the same.
Doesn't really work, takes me to the log in page instead of the post
