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.

      The admins and sitemods are listed on the front of the site. We added a number of new ones today following the departures yesterday.

      There are multiple comm mods you can find by checking the comms. They are varying degrees of active. A lot of general site moderation across comms is done by the sitemod as we receive reports.

      The core dev team was around five people, and the two most active members left last night due to burnout from yet another struggle session. Other development work is also done by members of the community as they want to volunteer.

          I feel that devs pulling double duty as sitemods creates the conditions for burnout

          Agreed. We have always strongly encouraged folks to do one or the other. In the case of Dash, he chose to do both and I respected that decision.
