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)

yes, it’s on purpose - we actively discourage lurking and encourage engaging with bad takes. the more you complain about it, the harder we go at it.
“bad take” really depends what side of the echo chamber you are on.
Y’all respond to criticism like kim jong un is standing right behind you lol
Also we aren’t in hexbear right now
We are in a Federated instance. So we can participate, as long we follow Da rulez.
But you miss your
echochamber, don’t you?
Right, being in a federated instance isn’t lurking. Glad we agree.
And no I don’t, I’ve had a few meaningful discussing with some true leftists but most of y’all only have a knee jerk reaction available to criticism. You end up pushing near-allies away for lacking your dogmatic devotion, seemingly to xi? As you have a bunch of photos of him saved?
You should come to Hexbear. Have a real look around. Not being a fan of NATO bombing (like Yugoslavia) or puting children in cages at concentration camps at the border, doesn’t mean someone is a dogmatic follower of China. But they are far better that USA, that’s for sure.
But come to Hexbear, let’s challenge years and years of western indoctrination. And we also have an awesome colletion of emojis! (or, as you call it, “photos”).
obviously whether a take is bad or not depends on your politics. it’s so obvious I’m surprised you’d bother pointing it out.
this isn’t criticism. it’s just a snide aside.
again, obviously.
