    Stocking up on supplies to prepare for the hexbear downtime. Go to the grocery store to find it packed with people who know they must do the same. A chaotic jungle as everyone fights for every scrap to prepare for an extended time with no posts.

    Closing down hexbear for a scheduled downtime isn't okay

    I totally realize most people are going to agree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the website for a scheduled maintenance wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this website is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support with warning is not okay.

    You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love pop girlies and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this website is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this website closed for the sake of upgrades. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.

    I swear to God, all y'all in the comments, I'm the type of autistic that can't understand sarcasm and I'm being dragged over coals right now.

    This is a conspiracy to slow down and prevent the trans megathread from taking over the whole site.

    The admins have been bought out by the DNC and this is a calculated manoeuvre to limit the negative effects that this site is having on Joe Biden's chances at reelection because the disproportionate effect this site's users have on the average Amerikkkan voter has grown so much that it cannot be ignored any longer as it's directly impacting polling numbers.

    Be aware that we will likely see a new power user added to the admin team, probably going by a username like Maxwellhill. They will be a DNC plant that will gradually shift this site into being a limited hangout designed to achieve the overall objectives of the DNC.
