Yes and no. Hexbear as a political project is more or less dead. It's been that way since the first year or so. It's more or less just a club for commie shitposting now. I used to do organizing/theory on Hexbear, now I just use it for non-political posting.

Hexbear, barring some huge shift, will stay around this size for the next few years and experience a slow decline until shutdown. It is a site just past its peak experiencing a slow fall to obscurity that all things must go through eventually.

come back bmf, they don't appreciate you on the trueanon sub

No it seems fine

It used to be around 500 daily users , now it's at 900. So, it's not decreasing, but maybe not increasing by as much I guess.

I think a bunch of those people would have left either way, they just weren't that socially functional.

has netcraft confirmed it though?

Yes

I'm not on hexbear because of the federation issues, I still enjoy the instance from my .ml account. Not a poster though

Love you all

This whole place has turned into /c/BadPosting lately.

It's an election year with a profoundly unpopular president, there should be plenty of fodder

I would like to say

I'm having more fun and being more engaged with the site than ever

I will never log off.
