to be fair, there's just a lot of stuff happening in the world that will make you touch grass. I, myself haven't been posting and commenting as much as I do before, I simply just don't have much to talk about anymore, and academics (I'm still in that phase of life) are quite huge, and mount up once semesters start. It's also a bit of IRL organizing that of course, you shouldn't post too much about in Hexbear about it for OpSec reasons, and there's not really much to look at and talk about (yet...) that would energize internet social medias like this.

Like the US-Israel War of Aggression on Iran right? It's still happening, but the website was quite active during it's more turbulent weeks.

I see a lot of users with like 1000 comments and close to 0 posts. Users are obligated to post the things that they want to see posted. If you (the girl reading this) are expecting something to be posted, then be the user to post it.

It's not hard to make 1 post a day. It takes like 10 minutes.

Maybe you saw a really funny meme. Maybe you saw an important news article. Maybe you read an interesting blog post. Maybe you have a special interest. Search to see if it has been posted today. If it has not been posted, then post it.

Don't post screenshots of headlines without including the link to the article. The article headline and the article are written by 2 different people and many times the article headline can be inaccurate or not contain enough information. Don't repost screenshots that someone else made. Link to articles.

Make posts that you think are interesting. Make the title of the post contain key details about the post, sometimes articles bury the lede. Include keywords in the title or post body, so that your post is searchable. Don't be afraid to comment on your own post to share your opinion about the post or include additional information. If somebody comments on your post to say that your post isn't interesting, ignore them, they're being a jerk.

Hexbear's userbase waxes and wanes over the years. It's also had more technical issues than usual lately (or it has seemed to). I wouldn't read too much into it unless there is a profound decline.

From my perspective the whole fedivers has stagnated.

We're ever so slowly shrinking it seems. Feels bad man. Welcome back though I think if more people post then more people will be here so posting is praxis

Now that the internet is back on in Iran we all have to go back to our jobs in Langley as Persian influencers

I just returned after a year and a half hiatus. It's much slower than it was then. There are about 300-400 users/day less than back then. I couldn't possibly tell you why it's like it is, but it is. Because of the lower amount of conversation, I don't see myself just hanging around on here for more than a few minutes like I used to.

Oh its because we moved from Pisces to Aries so instead of mass delusion and escapism we are moving to action, “make or break it”, a sundering of ties and confrontation with reality.

post in the creative spaces

i'm in the poetry mines someones gotta

It's because of... that user. It's obvious who so I don't even need to name a name. But because of that user making everyone uncomfortable there's a chilling effect on posting.

Yup think about this too. Crazy how I was mocked relentlessly for using Reddit back in the day but how everyone and their mother is on that shit.

Really fucking sucks how reactionary (and sometimes blatantly ignorant) the hive mind is

Yeah the vibes are fucked

post hard or die tryin

Hexbear is dying.
