I don't play on the servers anymore, but just poking around the forums and Discord from time to time, DS is still able to bring in a solid 30-ish people every single night.
However, it is clear that a lot of people that made DS good are moving past the gamemode. A lot of the staff from 2019-early 2020 have left, myself included. DS isn't the same compared to what it was in 2017(?) or 18, but I have felt that new generations of players will keep coming in and populating the server every night.
Now does Oni leaving (for whatever reasons he left, idc) put a bit of a dent in the community? Yeah, it kinda does. Love him or hate him, he and Hyphen have shaped this community into what it is today. I have no doubts that Anthonyy, magics, Hyphen (if he's still around), and the operators will do their best to keep DS alive. Just because you don't publicly see things doesn't mean that they're just sitting back watching the money roll in.
