Hello everyone,

I’ve encountered an issue with our user list export that I hope someone can help clarify. In April, our User List showed a total of 28,798 users. However, when I pulled a new CSV of the user list for May, the number has decreased to 28,702 users.

I’m puzzled as to how this is possible. Could there be an explanation for the reduction in the total number of users? Are there any automatic processes or settings in Discourse that could account for this change?

Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
