    Total monthly posts exploded after Spez enshitified Reddit, and is still growing steadily month over month.

    That suggests that the current decline in monthly active users is primarily because lurkers who only came to lemmy after initially hearing about it on Reddit, went back to lurking Reddit.

    The number of users that are contributors is still growing, and that’s what’s important.

        There’s also folks like me who came, 15 years on Reddit and I haven’t been back.

        Those of us who actually interacted with the platform and left aren’t going back.

          Yep, arrived during the initial digg exodus, had tens of thousands of posts at Reddit, modded two subreddits. Closed my account the day during the protests and haven’t been back.

          I’m not as active here, mostly due to a busier life but found a new home anyway.
