I don't know about engagement on mainstream sites declining, but the rising popularity of sites like Parler and Gab seems undeniable. Parler's recent (attempted) deplatforming is evidence enough: you don't bother with a tiny fringe site that isn't growing or wielding any influence.

Just look at the “leaks”... Their user base is not so big to be worrisome, but it’s undeniably big. And it’s growing too.
