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)

    Well, considering we are in a post about the userbase shrinking maybe the situation is not quite the same.

    Reddit admins literally ran bot accounts to fill content on reddit and make it seem more active at first. The users who came from Digg had similar complaints, and reddit userbase fluctuated at lot in the first few years. It’s actually exactly the same (minus the admins using bots to make it seem more active).

    I also don’t have that kind of time and energy to get a whole community running just for the kicks anymore

    No one is asking you, specifically, to do it.

      Eh, remains to be seen. The pacing of the internet today is very different.

      No one is asking you, specifically, to do it.

      Then don’t get on my case for not liking the lack of content, geez!

        Sorry, I just think it’s a dumb, entitled complaint. I’m not asking you to do anything other than stop whinging.
