I'm not really sure how to get statistics that aren't a bit cherry picked when it comes to any of the social networks. I still occasionally encounter links here and accidentally click, if I had an account I would be an engaged user? For content on the platform it seems easy enough to boost whatever users remain active. Facebook had a short period where I thought I might have to join to not miss FB only content, then twitter had a phase where you kind of had to read someone's stream of rant to get a specific piece of info directly. Both of those are completely past and they are just another way people link to primary content that remains on the real web. The only dark web that seems relevant to me, at rare times, is behind a newspaper paywall.
