Hexbear is holding pretty steady, I think there are just a lot of Ledditors elsewhere still who were never going to stick around longterm

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yeah, idk, we've built up an actual community here over the last few years and all these redditors have come over, made reddit 2 but worse on their instances, got bored and then left

We also experienced an initial explosion followed by a major drop and then steady growth. It’s healthy growth because it shows we’re keeping genuine daily users to compete with natural user churn.

The internet outside of hexbear is generally hostile to many of our views, so it's not like we can easily go elsewhere.

Oh yeah? I can be hostile to our views even in hexbear. Watch me start a struggle session on checks notes outdoor vegan cats!1!!

[–] Saeculum@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Outdoor cats are destructive to the ecosystem, keeping a pet is the exploitation of an animal and is therefore not vegan, and forcing a vegan diet on an obligate carnivore is , depending on how you do it, either pointless or animal abuse.

While I provide no further argument or justification for these points, understand that I am unchallengably correct as I am the one true Marxist.
