Yeah, I love that they data is available! I found it very interesting too.
There's more discussion of the history of some of the spikes where I posted this same graph over at dreamwidth_meta, if you're curious.
I noticed the downward trend too and it bothers me! I agree with your theory of the move toward spaces like Discord. I'm also on Discord and find it great for especially one on one discussions with friends or small groups. But I have huge issues with Discord as the new fandom "home". It's very much a walled garden by nature, not to mention that it's not very organized or searchable.
