Arrivals, departures and bans, by month

Almost nobody walked out. They were removed.

Only 230 people ever chose to leave this channel. Another 631 were banned, peaking at 49 in January — a moderation purge, not an exodus. What actually declined was arrivals: 5 joined in the first month, 5 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 — we'll write once, when it opens, and not before. Looking for your own messages instead?
