The initial enthusiasm is wearing off.
Check out these graphs (scroll down) https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy. They don't show October yet, but there are some downward trends visible.
As a trader, I would say this is a minor correction and we really should not read much into it. :) (of course, this is not a financial graph, but I've seen the similar patterns of impulse/correction in many graphs that measure opinion and/or human activity)
Came from reddit and I'm still here. Maybe I'm the only one planning to stick around, but probably not.
This seems less about users bailing and more about instance admins deciding to do so. The latter have a much higher level of overhead and stress to deal with, so it makes sense to see as the highs of the Reddit protests fade out.
