If I had disposable income, I would massively overbid everyone and just replace the server with a photo of Winnie the Pooh.
- Just host a redirect to Wikipedia page of Tiananmen square?
- OMG that would be hilarious, I am definitely not considering taking a loan out for this lmaooo
LOL @ “It’s because capitalism ruined DNS”

- DNS is enough to ruin DNS, it doesn't need help from any outside influence.
  Source: It's always DNS.
  
  How could it ever not be DNS?
- Considering that tankies are already treated with kid gloves by many mods who are afraid of being accused of 'bias' (despite tankies accusing them of bias even when they're treated with the utmost patience), this doesn't bode well.
- You don't have to tell me twice lmao
So... How did they lose the domain?
- Word on the Lemmy-verse is that the admin in charge of the infrastructure went MIA and someone was waiting to snatch it as soon as it expired and threw it up for auction
- If the bidding doesn't hit at least 6 digits, then we know for sure that Hexbear's paranoia about the CIA undermining them is unfounded 🕶
Auction is up and going everyone LMAO
Who bought (or almost bought) InfoWars? Was that The Onion? Someone should let them know!
$300? That's the best you can do?
- $505 as of now
  
  It's more than doubled since I went to bed last night. Over $700 now.
- It's all the way up to $305 now! Things are heating up! Will it get to $310?
  
  Wouldn't they just move to Hex-bear.co or something if they lose this one?
I'll wait out the auction and grab it if it's reasonable.
Hell, someone just start a gofundme and we can collectively buy it and hand the name over to blahaj, just for the lulz.

  LMFAO I'd pitch in some money to see that lolol
I'm OOTL on hexbear. I know its tankie, but wasn't it a continuation of the chapo trap house subreddit which was was leftie memes? And chapo trap house started from supporters of the podcast, which is run by Democratic socialists. How did the community get so tankie?
