I'm sure people here can empathize with having all the tech wizards get burnt out and leave, and all the various teething problems but this is a bit much... lemmy has its issues but plenty of sites larger and smaller than beehaw are getting on just fine. Perhaps the lib sysadmins are just going back to brunch?

Hexbear has survived all this time because, like China, has been engaging in self-reform to address the problem of rise and fall. So long as Hexbear continues this path, it will continue to go the distance.

I want to say that another major factor is that communists have a sense of "just keep going" to them. Keep the work going, keep marching, keep building. The only thing that you can do is push through adversity and keep moving forwards.

There have been several moments in Hexbear's history where people could have given up on it, team burnout and emotional distress in particular. But instead decided to just keep up the long march. Pushing through those down times eventually led to the good times.

A big part of this is willpower and real dedication to the mission goal.

Absolutely. Unlike liberals, who have no sense of direction or any clue how to move toward the future, communists actually engage in development, both self and collective. Thus, we have a future, whereas liberals stand still and let all of this just pass them by (like US infrastructure compared to China's).

Liberalism will always be doomed to fail, just as capitalism will always follow the trend toward common ruin. The pursuit of communism will always follow the trend of common prosperity and the revitalization of the people.

Leave these relics of failed states to toddle off the coil while we continue to build a better future.
