Messy, the peaks are from when Reddit did stupid shit or when bots where rampant, there’s no one taking out ads, app stores aren’t promoting us, this is all organic traffic. I think we’re pretty healthy honestly. There’s still a little flux, some churn right at the top as people who need those niche communities still flirt with reddit.
I tried to stand up a couple of channels for games I was playing, most of my contributions were met with nothing or downvotes and no reasons so I just changed servers and let them go.
What we’re saying is that spikes in growth are not the ‘best’ thing and sometimes they fall off.
Having some people that stay regardless is what we want, even if it looks like a decline. These things come in waves.
The worst thing about fedi though is there’s not enough safe places or mod tools for keeping marginalised folks safe, there’s still a heavy culture of bigotry, people not wanting to examine their own biases etc. That’s a big reason why folks leave.
Are we looking at the same graph? What i see is stable decline.
