type "why" in the searchbar
look through results
all posts/comments from 6-12 months ago
over 300 upbears on each post, 50-100 upbears easily on each comment
more usernames
recent posts rarely top 70 upbears, never manage to get over 200
very clear that this website has become more inactive

mods/admin have less of a hassle, they do their good work for free on an experimental and what I imagine to be fiddly system, exhausting to troubleshoot software bugs and to ban slimy chuds
devs can relax too, since there is less incoming traffic so no need for upgrades or to discuss all the suggestions for "improving" the website
we already have more users than volunteer admins, no need to overload, there needs to be a massive overhaul in terms of administration procedures and software if this site were to grow larger, the internet is a hostile environment for leftism
community seems to be going well too, no subversion by reactionary tendencies as of yet
no big projects/praxis as of yet (to my knowledge), but plenty of disgruntled users with a bit of free time, promising
hidden archives of forbidden knowledge buried within the site's history, for instance, the xenofeminist manifesto
total site death is unlikely within the next year
lack of ongoing vision for the site means that if it were to die quietly, then there would be no harm done
maybe winter has to pass before spring can arrive
or maybe to slowly fade into history isn't so bad after all, more grass shall be touched irl
either way, we all can only look forward to the future of this site
There’s been a couple posts in the last week that hit over 200. Our site’s algorithm also moves content a little faster than reddit’s, although I’ve been told by older members of the community that it’s an improvement over the slower one that was there at launch.
Hexbear has a consistent userbase and good content most days. I hope we keep growing either way because this is one of the most unique sites on the net right now.
Lol yeah the sorting at launch was very slow. It left posts up for a while so they could accumulate a lot of upbears, but at the same time whenever you visited there'd be no new posts on your feed. This new system is much much better even though posts are rarely at the top for more than 6 hours or so.
