This one's actually super fascinating (and is definitely an angle that I'd never realized until now). Here are charts that look at our total yearly posts by subforum.
First, it's interesting how consistent the Lounge post rates have been since 2016. I think we must have all just chilled out at that point.
It's also enlightening that DC actually makes up around a third of total posts around here. (No wonder Kyle doesn't want to get rid of it...) It was even higher in 2020 for reasons I'm sure we can't understand...
Anyway, this is what I like about this stuff. You never know what interesting perspective will come from digging in a little bit.
