Yes, I think this is because people are now able to connect with each other in person more easily, and they no longer need to rely on online communities to fulfill that need.

I haven't really noticed a decrease. There are still a lot of people who are looking for connections that they aren't able to get in the real world.

I think is normal and was expectable. People have slowly returned to their normal routines and are less reliant on online communities for socializing.

Surprisingly both engagement and number of participants are growing. A lot of people are struggling to get back to the "old normal" and seem to find comfort in their online communities.

I am an m&a junior at a firm that is generally considered a lifestyle firm (pay below market but target hours are lower unless pushing for partner).

I’m not convinced the partners in my team (who are aware of the problem but cannot convince management) can recruit people to replace given we pay below market.
