Active users (monthly is what you should be looking at) is very slowly declining, however we are still above the level that we were before the most recent influx.

Gotta ask why it seems to slowly decline after each influx, tho, rather than slowly rise or stay stable.

Seems at least some of these people are not liking what they find.

Because there is a big influx of people looking for a new home and some of them don't feel this is it and move on.

What is Interesting about the graph is that the drop-off after Rexxit was much steeper and, despite the drops, the numbers don't go below the level they were before.

Sometimes you need u/spez to give you a couple more blows before you say "fuck it, fuck this". It happened to me.

before you say "fuck this, fuck you"

FTFY 🙂

That works too.

Does he give blows?

You had to send a few bitcoin through the glory hole first, but yes

He makes transactions. If passion is lacking in your life, don't get overexcited.

I'm probably missing something, but what are the two bumps in December and Feb from?

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 15 points 5 months ago (2 children)

December changed the way active users were counting, adding the votes on top of posts and comments

February was LW applying that update

[–] nimpnin@sopuli.xyz 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Oh so they are not new users coming in? Well that paints a pretty different picture then

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 8 points 5 months ago

Indeed, actually the change in calculation makes it hard to actually evaluate

[–] Nednarb44@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Well that was anticlimactic, but I appreciate the information

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 6 points 5 months ago

Very interesting, thanks!
