do you mean the period between 06-06 and 06-12? i.e. early june or do you mean the end of june 06-27?

If the question is the former I would imagine these kinds of changes are likely structural changes in the fediverse between instances or changes in how the numbers are calculated for this graph that are artifacts of the algorithm being updated or changed, though it may be a "real" signal I doubt it is indicative.

What is indicative is the steady, consistent increase of conversations and posts over the scale of years!

To put it another way, what I consider a likely real signal that we should feel positive about (a steadily increasing number of posts and comments) is overlayed with an offset event that is probably an artifact and not something to draw broad conclusions about the fediverse from... though who knows I could be wrong.
