I am seeing posts from https://hexbear.net/ once again. Anyone know what happened since they lost their domain name? How did they get it back?

    Sorry I should have clarified: not looking for Hexbear lore in general. I have seen a lot of Hexbear content, so I have a solid understanding on the site and the users. Don’t want to start a debate about that here because that debate always turn nasty.

    What I am looking for is: what happened in the past month-ish? How did you all lost your domain? How and when did you get it back? Why did it take so long for federation to be back? Is there any other change made to the site during this downtime?

        The most anticapitalist instance getting a .com domain would be hilarious

        But there gotta be more to the story. Was the registrar being “shady” as @hendrik@palaver.p3x.de said? Why did federation take so long?
