yesterday there was also a 7h stretch btw, but I did notice that too. Would love to see an analysis of the comments since posts being sporadic could be explained by it being nighttime in the US too, I guess

Every post there requires mod approval, and they generally don't approve posts over night.

So far, every single one of these "the conservatives have disappeared!" claims either have no proof, or are easily disproven. I still haven't seen a single piece of legitimate evidence that shows a noticeable decrease in any activity, just a lot of headlines saying that it's happened.

A year ago there was an extended power outage in moscow that affected /r/conserative for the time frame https://www.reddit.com/r/visualization/comments/1p2iqlu/nearly_every_day_two_users_on_rconservative/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=technology&utm_content=t1_pf9365r

TL:DR Conseratives two most prolific posters were missing while Moscow was offline.

That makes sense. Maybe I'm used to subreddits being moderately populated still active at anytime.

Conservative mods locking down posts while asleep huh? Don't them purple haired libs posting furry commie porn.
