This is hardly a surprise. When you adopt an anti-communist stance, you pave the way for unhealthy social trends to takeover, which increases the moderation workload considerably, and forces you into an unsustainable method of operating. Perhaps the decay has finally reached a stage advanced enough to send them back to the likes of Silicon Valley centralized models.
Hexbear has survived all this time because, like China, has been engaging in self-reform to address the problem of rise and fall. So long as Hexbear continues this path, it will continue to go the distance.
The other big instances that are here today may not be in a few months, or years. Fascinating to see from a dialectical perspective.
why are there fascists in my anticommunist instance
Who do you mean?

I want to say that another major factor is that communists have a sense of "just keep going" to them. Keep the work going, keep marching, keep building. The only thing that you can do is push through adversity and keep moving forwards.
There have been several moments in Hexbear's history where people could have given up on it, team burnout and emotional distress in particular. But instead decided to just keep up the long march. Pushing through those down times eventually led to the good times.
A big part of this is willpower and real dedication to the mission goal.
Absolutely. Unlike liberals, who have no sense of direction or any clue how to move toward the future, communists actually engage in development, both self and collective. Thus, we have a future, whereas liberals stand still and let all of this just pass them by (like US infrastructure compared to China's).
Liberalism will always be doomed to fail, just as capitalism will always follow the trend toward common ruin. The pursuit of communism will always follow the trend of common prosperity and the revitalization of the people.
Leave these relics of failed states to toddle off the coil while we continue to build a better future.
Towards the Hexbear future!
