hexbear.net comically loses its domain name
-
Right. I don't mind people wearing certain red hats. It lets me know right up front what to expect. Reddit had the same dilemma once upon a time where specific subs were banned, and that just forced the roaches to hide in unknown areas where once you knew exactly where to find them all.
-
Probably. In all honestly, if you are a hexbear user, I'd be keeping a careful eye on who owns the domain when it magically pops back up.
-
That will be a problem for sites that are all hosted on one IP address where the server figures out what site you want by the client's request string.
-
So.... who's outbidding them? Someone from tankiejerk? Or are their being taken over by lemmygrad, to be introduced to Socialism with Dessaline characteristics?

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
