In this case, I have a theory. I remember a month ago people were posting a lot on Reddit and the !reddit@lemmy.ml community was extremely active. It was like group therapy for refugees. But now the new reality is setting in and people are actually having real and meaningful conversations, which means more lurkers.

So it doesn't mean that active users are down per se, it's just that it's stabilised because people are mostly over Reddit.

I'm curious, why are you sick of Manjaro? I've been use it for 2 years and it's been smooth sailing. Genuinely just curious.

Yeeesss! Teams right now takes 1.2 GB ram and is extremely slow on my work computer.

So instead of tackling the source of problem, they are using authoritarian regimes toolkits.

I think a static page page explaining to users that the server is being upgraded would be best.

"Sigh*. I've been using Manjaro for two years now and I haven't had problems. Everything always worked smoothly.

I second this. It sounds that you want a rolling release distro. Suse Tumbleweed is also a good choice.
