I think I might have developed a small addiction to Hexbear, as despite joining just 4 days ago, I have done almost nothing but use Hexbear.

Seeing as I'm trying to improve myself, I'm thinking about trying to use Hexbear less so I don't become a full on posting addict. With that in mind, what are the hours with the most amount of activity? I know Hexbear always has some activity, but I wanna know the times it's okay to "skip" reading / posting on Hexbear and what time's it's not.

When I get too addicted I first log out and view the website still but I won’t spend 90 hours commenting bullshit then have a fixed time to check it once a day for 15 minutes since there aren’t many posts unless I decide to spam badposting with some cringe.

You’d be hard pressed to see posts move faster than needing to check in more than once unless we’re arguing about something again.

Ngl I get addicted to upvotes real easy it’s kinda annoying bring back old forum boards. Bit idea, let me see everyone else’s upvotes but not my own

Yeah, upvotes are a fuck. I'm addicted to them too.

My policy has been to upvote literally everything except it's a particularly egregious or disagreeable take, so I can make sure everyone has at least one gold star.
