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)

It's so silly. People around the world explain their culture and don't assume everyone knows about it, give their location appropriately, and do not believe they are the center of the world. It's like:

Random question posted: Why is eating octopus more and more popular?

Random user: In my region, we really don't eat much octopus. I am from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. We eat red meat much more. But I guess octopus is growing in popularity worldwide due to [expanation].

Another random user: Where? Here in Portugal it has always been "popular".

Average American user: Midwestern here. I don't see octopus much and I don't like it. Call me stereotypical, but I love my meat and T-Ravs. Anyway, I believe the popularity is due to Biden's administration. [Details about Biden's changes]. ...So that all America has seen this rise, especially on the East Coast."

🤷🏻‍♀️ ...Why?
