    Yay, another week of higher than normal activity, until the fomo kicks back in and they leave yet again cause “everyone is on X/this is sooo complicated/I just wanna see the fallout/whatever excuse justifies their addiction”

      Every time that happens the fedi retains a good chunk of users. There’s significant and stable growth throughout.
