Note: Considering user as a field

Any ideas about writing a search which satisfies the above condition?

By mean activity, I am assuming you mean the average.
| stats avg(count) by date_hour, user

For standard deviation you can try something like below. Replace "n" with your amount.
| eventstats stdev(count) as deviation | eval outlier=deviation*"n" | where count > outlier
