I think that's pretty much settled by now. Judging by the stats, it's homed in on a steady line of 45k monthly active users. It's going to be the "or not" part.

This time last year there was around 38k active users.
I think this kind of slow growth is fine. We just need enough influx to replace people who naturally leave, and maybe a bit more. We don’t have any CEOs or stockholders demanding exponential growth.

But this March, it's peaked at almost 52k and we're in constant decline since then.

IIRC the March peak was another case in which Reddit did something stupid… So yeah, I agree that we can’t just rely on that, at some point they’re going to make it impossible to advertise the fediverse there.
