Yesterday was intense for everyone. Some quick updates as of last night:

  • A large amount of the sitemod team has stepped away from the project. Other comrades from the community have volunteered to pitch in and been modded.
  • Some core devs also stepped away from the project. For the time being, you should not expect any further development of new features or bug fixes as we reassess our capacity.
  • Main has been locked. No immediate plans to unlock.
  • Registration is closed and will remain so for the time being.

We 100% understand and support everyone who left yesterday and are also looking forward to the next stage of Hexbear.

We're probably not going to be making any additional announcements or formal communication until after the weekend at the earliest. Thanks.

    A week ago I asked for transparency in what the donation resources are going to. I would be happy to know that y'all spend some of the donations on yourselves. Pay yourselves from it. Throw yourselves a corporate pizza party. This shit is stressful. I want no part in being a mod. I just want to help in the most benign, bougie way possible.

      I'm not going to remove this even though it's off topic and a request for additional work in a post about burn out. Doing so would look shitty and I don't blame you for a follow up. We were working on a transparency report off and on between struggle session waves. We do not spend any funds on ourselves. Everything goes into a dedicated account and is used for hosting expenses.

      Getting said report "right" is important and also we knew the moment we posted it, we'd inevitably have to deal with a wave of wreckers because finances are always an easy point of contention.

      We were potentially too idealistic when promising this before launch. Given the amount of seemingly other small issues that blew up, there was a definite sense of dread and tiredness attached to the topic. Reports like that are not something other sites typically do because they're time intensive to do well.

      As we continue with the project we'll try and put something together.

        Then don't post it. The point of my remark is that you should be spending some of it on yourselves, imo.
