I think everyone who's been here more than a week or two has had multiple negative interactions with them.

Awful, reactionary posters. We might as well start advertising on red website if we stay fedded with them.

    I may be wrong here, but my impression is that more and more good people from other instances have been showing up here lately?

    If that really is the case we should welcome them, not lock them out

      Daily active user numbers on hexbear have almost doubled since federation started, we used to have a stable count of about 500 active users per day and now we're at about 900. It's arguable how much of a good thing that is - churn in users is a necessity to not let the site turn stale, but growth at such a pace will lead to changes in site culture that aren't always for the better.

          So, just to make sure i understand you correctly, there's still a jump from 300-500 active posters a day to 500-700? And it's the increase to 800-900 that is due to including upbears?
