It's not just "hey, look,.traffic is down", but rather a few.folks saying "see, traffic is down because you keep commenting negatively to politicians and journalists "
The stats are trending down, but not precipitously so and still at a level that (AFAIK) eclipses the whole fediverse. And there are plenty of journalists and politicians who engage or endure the negative feedback.
Fair enough. I only got what people were originally complaining about from context; I woke up too late to see those complaints, just a billion replies.
