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)

But they obviously aren't all Nazis

Hmm... I think we need to conduct some exit interviews to gather data before we start making any assumptions.

"Hello, you have selected 'Delete Account' is this because you are a Nazi?"

Y/N (circle one)

"You have selected 'no' and yet you still wish to delete your account? Why are you lying about not being a Nazi then?"

About as useful as the 'have you ever or are you planning to participate in a genocide' tickbox on immigration forms.

Although there's a troubling part of me that worries that Nazism has been normalised enough that people would willingly say yes.

Exploding heads is literally shutting down. So he may have a point.
