      I guess I am “lucky” in the sense that I haven’t witnessed the height of activity and I am still satisfied. I don’t want to spend too much time anywhere so at the moment hexbear delivers pretty much what I want in terms of news. There could be more commenting going on, then again there often is not much to add to a news article. It really won’t help anyone if I write ‘death to isnotreal’ under every article about the entity.

        If other users are anything like me they may feel like they have reached the limits of online posting, I think about leaving here but I wouldn’t go to another forum I would just start posting IRL

          I feel like also a leftist alternative didn’t exist online before, so this space satisfied that. Nowadays leftism has become more mainstream and there’s big pages on mainstream social media platforms that engage with it.

          I still appreciate Hexbear’s ML roots, it really cuts a lot of shit out, would hate to see it fully disappear.

          I also just think the core user base (myself included) just grew up. I’m now a person with so many responsibilities and aims in life that I don’t have time to post anymore.

          There’s plenty of hobbies I love to discuss that I have, that I still go to Reddit for because it’s got more activity. I don’t need a leftist perspective on Marvel Rivals, I guess.
