Idk, I've been interacting less since I started using matrix a lot more, though I was never a capital P Poster. Turns out the Internet keeps re-discovering that yes in fact chat rooms are the most personal way to hang out and be social together. Alor at least I keep rediscovering it for myself. I'm not leaving any time soon though.

I'm still hanging around. Not like I can go back to

Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh. Idk what's to be done about it.

we need a Great Hexbearian Cultural Revolution

bombard the posting headquarters

this is a bit. unless..

Got banned E day, won't mention it again or probably anything else but this thread seems fair game and maybe it's more common. I don't write anything too wild so I tuned out afterwards. Whatever it was for, it was informative.

I didn't even notice that Hexbear died.

I missed the struggle. What happened?

i think you're misattributing, posting goes up and down all the time. people are making a big scare over 'less posting is happening' when there are far more active users now on average than ever before. i think you notice the lack of content more if you're on hexbear too much, so you really feel the time in between posts. thats my personal experience at least. I suggest logging off for large portions of the day, and coming back when comfortable.

Yeah, I was on the revleft forum for a few years and the vibe that eventually caused that forum to collapse (mainly mods and admins taking their contribution and themselves way too seriously) seems rampant here. Who wants to enter a community with such a high level of infighting, it's awkward. Still better than a lot of other spaces but just kinda sad because it could be much better
