It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping.
Also a few people who came to see how it was, and weren’t attracted enough to become regular visitors.
Curious to see at which number we’ll stabilize.
Next peak will probably happen after either major features release (e.g. exhaustive mod tools allowing reluctant communities to move from Reddit) or the next Reddit fuck up (e.g. removing old.reddit)

There’s a happy medium between sitting in an empty bar and eternal summer.
Exactly. More people need to understand that this isn’t a black and white issue. We need that happy medium.
Yeah, especially since you could have smaller, niche subs on Reddit, but those largely don’t work here. The niche subs were some of my favourite.
There’s also some niche subs that need the site to be popular. Eg, AITA or BestOfLegalAdvice (which required LegalAdvice to be mainstream).
