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)

Bizarrely it feels way more active, the people leaving were never going to contribute anyway and that's fine. It seems to be stabilizing at a good amount of content per day.

From the statistics that seems to make sense, only total/active users is seeing a drop everything else was still rising at the "normal" rate

Some of this may also have to do with the user creation exploit that popped up a while back.
