You didn't say it expressly. I inferred from your focus being on how to improve the adding side of the inequality rather than reducing the churn side.
In academia, we often break down retention problems into a bunch of different stages at which people are lost and try to analyze each step separately to see where the most promising margins are. SN is much more fluid than a university but a similar approach might be useful.
- How many people make an account but never post/comment/zap?
- How many people make just a few posts or comments but don't get much engagement on them and don't continue interacting?
- How many people make a lot of posts and comments immediately but then drop off?
- How many people become regulars with high trust and many posts or comments over a long period of time but then drift away?
These may all be different issues with different fixes and likely some are responsible for far more losses than others. Getting a sense of where the losses come from is the first step of figuring out how to improve retention, though.
After I finish my taking-forever-refactor, I'm personally going to focus on this new/retain stuff almost exclusively.
I'll rope you all in. I tend to be super vibes focused, am inevitably missing stuff, and your list is a great example of how we can quantize this stuff and guess smarter.

Woo, that should be fun. Any bets on the statistical significance of DarthCoin interactions on churn?

We'll need to create an explanatory variable for pre- and post-interaction with Darth.

Hopefully my time sitting on retention committees can prove useful
