Indeed. And on a site with 611 Million monthly active users, that means 0.01% are deactivating their accounts each day. 3% after a year. Sounds insiginif

- bediger4000 2y ago611 million active user IDs. There's a lot of bots, and spammers with multiple user IDs. I'd be interested in seeing something about user IDs that scroll some minimum amount vs user IDs that just post.
- wmoxam 2y agoHow are they counting deactivation's? My account got nuked because I changed my birthday date for jokes and it locked me out for being 'too young' when I signed up way back in 2007. I would have needed to provide photos of government ID to re-activate so I let it go.
- tzs 2y agoI think you've overlooked something: people can leave a social media site without deactivating their account. I haven't used Digg or Slashdot in at least a decade, for example, but never got rid of my accounts. I've also got a few alt Reddit accounts that I haven't logged into in a long time. I'd expect in general the number of people who leave a site but don't bother to actually go through the steps of deactivating the account to be quite a bit higher than the number that do deactivate.
