Oh, I was wondering what happened in 2017! I moved across in 2009, and pretty much never went back to LJ. I'd say that those spikes are not representative of ongoing users, because I know each time LJ did something, more of my friends would move over, and many of those friends who had been active LJ users are ghost accounts. I reckon I've been acquiring new friends here at a steady rate, and whether or not they are active isn't strongly correlated with when they got their account (some of my long term friends have gone either dormant or almost entirely to private journalling)
