hexbear.net comically loses its domain name
-
-
Well yea but what is it in this specific context? I have no idea what this is
-
That doesn't really clear anything up, tbh, I don't know what this is or why I care about their domain expiring this post did nothing to explain that
-
A far-left Lemmy instance, one of the so-called "Tankie Triad" (along with lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml).
As with all instances of the Triad, Hexbear is commonly hated on other instances due to conflicts stemming from the difference of political perspectives with the majority of people on other instances.
-
Communists (internet troll-ish)
As opposed to Communists (just-- communists) from lemmy.ml and Communists (Spicy Communists) from lemmygrad.ml

I don't mean interacting directly with ICANN. I mean directly interacting with registries, like Verisign.
They control the .com top level domain. They do not interact with consumers, and require you to use a third-layer of registrars to interface with them.
ICANN shouldn't get into the direct-to-consumer business, that is true and not the issue I am speaking about.

yep literally this. don't most routers nowadays have a hosts file?
-
they were originally refugees from the reddit ban of r/chapotraphouse

Isn't hilarious chaos a Nazi instance?
-
I'm not familiar with the first subreddit, what was that about?
-
That's not what you asked
-
No, it isn't.

If I didn't know this was chapotraphouse I would consider it an excellent shitpost.

I have a more optimistic outlook. If they get spread out there's a higher chance of them getting out of their echo chamber and becoming a normal person. And let's be real, the worst of them will go into Lemmygrad to continue their circlejerk and thus won't bother the wider fediverse. And the worst of them probably already have alts on other instances where they stir up shit.

None of them are communists, they're Tankies, tankies = authoritarians
-
Hexbear, along with .ml and grad, are Tankie instances. Known as the Tankie Triad (well soon to be Tankie Dyad anyways lol)
-
Hex, .ml and grad are part of the Tankie Triad. Tankies are authoritarians and often hard to tell apart from far right nutjobs
-
I think saying Tankies aren't Communists is a bit like saying Sword Art Online isn't an anime.
Just because they suck doesn't remove them from the category. In fact acknowledging the sucky parts of a <thing> is part of being grown up about that thing.
-
Or are their being taken over by lemmygrad, to be introduced to Socialism with Dessaline characteristics?
What‽ LMAO grad, .ml are Tankie instances just the same and Dess is a huge Tankie lolol
-
Lemmygrad and tankies in general have military discipline while hexbear is a vibes-based mob. Authoritarians vs. virtue signallers, one taking over the other would mean popcorn for years.
