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)

Rumour has it that Reddit has been banning accounts for misuse of API keys used to patch 3rd party Reddit apps.
I had a look, they are banning accounts with apps using other apps’ keys.
As long as someone uses their own key, they’re fine
Good to know. I’ll stop spreading this rumour in that case.
