It feels like it's dying. Just anecdotally it seems like there have been less threads lately, less quality threads, and less discussion overall. More anecdotally I feel like the last couple of federation / defederation slap fights ended with many users leaving as well. I can think of a few who left because we were federating, some who left because we then subsequently defederated from lots of the fediverse, and then even a few who said they would leave if we didn't defederate and then left anyway when we did.

I feel like mostly overall I have seen very few new posters, and have seen less and less of some certain power posters.

Is this just a illusion or is this really what's happening. What is to be done?

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

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

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

There are supposedly 960 daily active users, and yet I am not receiving 960 upbears on my posts. Interesting.
