terrible at greentexting

searching for hexbear lulz

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

    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.
