Almost nobody walked out. They were removed.

Only 374 people ever chose to leave this channel. Another 756 were banned, peaking at 93 in March β€” a moderation purge, not an exodus. What actually declined was arrivals: 482 joined in the first month, 17 in the last.

Every number above came out of the raw event log automatically, at build time. That's the same engine we're pointing at subreddits that still exist. It isn't open yet.

No confirmation email β€” we'll write once, when it opens, and not before. Looking for your own messages instead?
