We can also look at the composition commenter commenting frequency. Here I’ve been the commenters for each week into a bin/bucket and seen how they’ve changed. Top graph is overall volume, bottom graph is the percentage of commenting population in each frequency bucket:
I admit that we must conclude that high-frequency commenters (4+ comments/week) have diminished in absolute numbers and as a percentage over time, though a slight upward trend in the last six months.
Are there any obvious tie-ins to the launch of the Alignment Forum? It seems plausible that the people who were here almost exclusively for the AI research posts might have migrated there.
Alternatively, if Alignment Forum is in fact counted, it might be that the upward trend reflects growth in that segment.

Great work!
