Is Hexbear dying? (hexbear.net)

It feels like it's dying. Just anecdotally it seems like there have been less threads lately, less quality threads, and less discussion overall. More anecdotally I feel like the last couple of federation / defederation slap fights ended with many users leaving as well. I can think of a few who left because we were federating, some who left because we then subsequently defederated from lots of the fediverse, and then even a few who said they would leave if we didn't defederate and then left anyway when we did.

I feel like mostly overall I have seen very few new posters, and have seen less and less of some certain power posters.

Is this just a illusion or is this really what's happening. What is to be done?

there will always be a disparity between those who love badposting/chapotraphouse/thedunktank and those who love theory/news mega/effort the most

this is the great dialectic! zizek-theory

I know effort is, I've never seen the others
