hexbear.net comically loses its domain name

They're part of the Tankie Triad (.ml, lemmygrad, hexbear). Quite possibly the worst of the triad

The common clay of the fediverse.

I feel attacked lmao, reddit automoda/policy is abusive now, I commented on a front page post with an alt and it permbanned 3 of my 10 year old accounts instantly no appeal. I kinda do like that they forced me to give lemmy a second look.

My revenge was deleting every helpful post/comment I had (I got lazy 5 minutes in kinda sucks that there is no way to delete your post history once reddit bans you, you can delete your account but posts and commentd stay up, the only way to remove them is to edit them)
-
Oh, maybe I wasn't clear: this isn't the usual mods doing mods, they were such bad posters the admins banned their entire sub.
Getting banned from a subreddit is easy, getting the admins to kick you, your friends, and your community off the site requires exquisite and well-developed shitposting skills beyond those of most mortals.

Digital trust is a really complicated thing. DNS sure beats most of the alternative I can think of.
-
It is.
Of course there are alternatives if you give up using the host header, like routing by URL. But that's difficult when the URL is encrypted, meaning SSL has to be terminated at the proxy.
-
You don't have to! You can run a DNS server out of your house and host any and all domain names you can think of!
Of course, nobody but you will use it, but it's the principle of the thing, right?

30 years ago we had to remember phone numbers, now ip addresses. We are going in circles.

It is actively being auctioned, see the post body.
-
Ah... I did not understand the auction link. I thought "expired" meant that the auction ended. I guess it describes the status of the domain.
Thanks

Your perspective makes you believe we're going in circles. In actuality, we're going down the drain...

I'll take it. It's easy enough to tag people when I see them unironically spewing russian propaganda or bringing up American atrocities to justify Chinese ones.

If you want someone else's servers to replicate a piece of information for you, and you want them to take responsibility for administrative issues like figuring out whether you still want it next year or what to do if you're doing something illegal
I would like none of these services. I would simply like my domain name to be mapped to my server's IP. I don't want to have to pay a registrar, I would like to submit my domains to registries directly. There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.

In my experience these "containment" boards/servers/sections tend not to work.
Long term it basically just creates a place that attracts those you don't want, and becomes place for those ideologies to spread. Then it either gets bad enough they take over (you know the site) or they break off wholesale and form a new community dedicated to those worst impulses (pyrrhic victory at best).
The best policy is to actively moderate, and in the case of the fediverse, defederate, those groups and those that give them shelter.
