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)

These kinds of comments are why my usage has gone down. There is an inclusive we are different vibe and this mentality that people just shouldn’t have an opinion if it doesn’t fit the Lemmy opinion. It’s just weird.
Entirely self imposed. I see people disagreeing all day on here without issue, so I often wonder what tame opinion folks like you have that gets rejected whole-heartedly here. However, I tend to eventually find something nasty at the end of that particular hedge maze. Perhaps you need to take that overwhelming disapproval of your ideals, and reflect on whether or not the toxic path you have chosen is the correct one.
