The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Not sure what will happen, but seems to be a Fediverselore event for sure
Update: post from hexbear admin on chapo.chat: https://chapo.chat/post/4468531
Just add the following line to your host file and add an override to your DNS:
37.187.73.130 hexbear.net
Problem solved, this is how we did it in 1985.
They've moved to chapo.chat.
They didn't really move. That hostname has been a synonym for hexbear.net all along. It may have been the instance's original hostname.
According to that statement they don't have access to the account to renew that one either, so they'll lose it eventually and it should be considered temporary. 🤷♂️
Thanks! Unlike a lot of Lemmy users, I have a soft spot for hexbears. I think they had a genuinely traumatic experience when they federated and their very personal instance was inundated with people who didn't think and talk as they did. I'm glad they're ok.
Their community reminds me of that one Something Awful subforum with the same style. I guess hexbear is just a younger demographic
Bidding ends in 9 days.
Edit: Current bid is up to ~~$305~~ ~~$505~~ ~~$676~~ ~~$710~~ ~~$1920~~ $2345
As @[email protected] mentioned it's now at $505.
What's up with j_s_0e6b87? (Let's call them JS). If they really want the address that's the wrong way to go - bidding too high, too early, too often, and in a bidding war against everyone else. A better approach is to wait until the last hours and then try to snip it.
Unless their goal is to raise the prices this way?
EDIT: currently $676. JS is in a bid war with TB (t_b_2a08d7), a newcomer. 🍿
Popcorn! Get'cher popcorn here! Can't have a good fedidrama without that delicious buttery popcorn!
Is there a remind me bot on Lemmy? Asking for a friend that might do something financially irresponsibly hilarious at last second if the auction values doesn't go much higher.
Wow, that's a fuck up of monumental proportions. Still 9 days left on the auction, I wonder how much it'll ultimately sell for.
This could be really annoying when they all make accounts on lemmy.ml. Funnily enough, having them sequestered over there and defederated from the rest of us has been working pretty well lately. Moderators and admins better start dusting off the banhammers.
