Sorry I didn't mean to shit up the site, mb.
Unfortunately, UlyssesT left to go touch grass and isn't likely to return for some time, if at all.
But I think the site's fine. We got that one new power user, demoncracy (whose apparently gone now lmao), hanging around now. Probably some others I don't recognize as easily because their avatar doesn't stand out so much.
He should keep touching grass, it killed Kissinger

I might make amends to the Dessalines and the mods at Lemmygrad now that the dust has settled, but I don't think this place is dying.
But it needs to promote itself more, otherwise the turnover can get bad and people leave.
More new faces spurs people to stay as well.

i am fully out of the loop
Oh yeah
I once accused the mods there of being biased when they banned me and angered people here when I said as much.
I think it's natural for people to come and go, but I think lately there has been a hell of a lot more going and not a lot of 
which is maybe the big problem.

I thought so to but they're all hiding in the news and bulletins mega.

It's because our "Xibucks" got reallocated to prioritize developing "new quality productive forces". So people don't have as much time to post.
I feel you. I hate scrolling through page after page of threads that are just a news article link with no commentary, no posts.
A lot of our content is essentially "hexbear reacts to [current event]" and then "[current event] meta posts", and current events are in a lull or we've exhausted all there is to say about Trump, Biden, Palestine, climate change, etc.
At some point, hexbear probably will die. Think of how many forums you've posted on before here, how many are still around? I don't want it to, I have nowhere else I want to post, but it'll happen. And then we'll 
and do something else
"Current event"
I'm not really posting much because there isn't really anything funny happening, there isn't anything left to say about most of the major geopolitical problems, we've scraped the bottom of the barrel for novel expressions of horror and irony poisoning, and i'm not doing anything local to be angry about.
I've always preferred commenting to posting but I'm trying to change. I think i noticed a drop from other instances defedding and users blocking, (i suspect astrotrurfers have done this purposefully) and as a separate issue i recall a few effort posters left around the same time.
I have accts elsewhere besides here so i can connect with the libs who are so terrified of us anyway, and come back here to recharge my batteries with my homies.
I like this spot and where it's at
Unironically it's just the post sorting algorithm. It was way better before federation, although I can't put my finger on why exactly. (Not to criticize our admins and tech people who work on that stuff behind the scenes, I've also seen a ton of improvements and stuff too).

You'll cowards need to post more
This thing coasts. I haven’t seen much change
We also all tend to turn over accounts for opsec so it could be a lot of those regulars are still around (except BMF come back we miss you bby)
