It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping.

Also a few people who came to see how it was, and weren't attracted enough to become regular visitors.

Curious to see at which number we'll stabilize.

Next peak will probably happen after either major features release (e.g. exhaustive mod tools allowing reluctant communities to move from Reddit) or the next Reddit fuck up (e.g. removing old.reddit)

Hexbear has become a cesspool

Hexbear is an aggressively inclusive space full of thoughtful people who are passionate about making the world a better place and educating their fellow man. If every online space were more like hexbear we'd all be much better off

I actually wish we would become very much like Reddit used to be back in the day. I very much enjoyed that experience and want it back. I'm sure plenty of others do to

Oh yeah back in the good old days of /r/jailbait and /r/creepshots and /r/sexwithdogs

    Lol.. so inclusive wanting to bring down America, listing out a bunch of people you’d love to get rid of (anyone you consider bourgeoise), unyielding fanboying of China…

    I think the overall Lemmy experience has gone downhill since hexbear federated. I also think seeing the propaganda posts constantly hitting the All feed will drive people away. Are there even any non-political hexbear communities? All I ever see are anti-is and pro-China posts.

    I still can’t wrap my head around being so pro-trans rights (a fabulous thing), yet in the same breath simping for China. Not the most stellar LGBTQIA+ record there.

    Everything is political. We have comms that we don't consider political, but you would still consider them political because you would rather they cater to your politics rather than ours. We have !games@hexbear.net for example, but because it's not a liberal comm you would consider it political.

    You're literally professing your support for trans rights and simping for the US in one comment so you must be mega confused

    This sounds like treating politics like religion. No thanks.

    Yes. America is the pre-eminent fascist violence force on Earth and must be brought down for the good of humanity

    Not having America around to keep Russia and China in check sounds great for humanity 👍

    Damn you really kept them in check when you bombed Iraq back to the stone age

    You also really kept China in check when you moved your entire industrial capacity there

    I live in the US and it's pretty bad for LGBT people here. I don't feel the need to cheerlead US interventions because they have a coat of rainbow paint.

    @sharedburdens

    Good for you! They cloak not only in that, but in Human Rights and Democracy. Yeah, right, sure Sleepy Joe. :-) My gay daughter hates Putin and loves the war because Russia doesn't accept homesexualtiy. I think that's a very poor reason to go to war, especially when the raesons stated aren't true. It's colonialism all over again. Russia has all the raw materials and rare earth metals that the west covets.

    Paradox of tolerance, babyyy

    Yeah, it reminds me of the behavior found on 4chan. A lot of the things I've heard about hexbear - someone made a mega post about their userbase and how it's filled with trolls, just lines right up with 4chan type mentality and pushing contrarian ideologies that are meant to put people in an uproar - like ragebaiting.

    And then all hear from hexbear users is this creepy rhetoric about how they're free thinker with ideas or some shit. Sounds like what Jehovah Witnesses say to get people to join their cult.
