hexbear.net comically loses its domain name
-
I mean unlike housing, you don't actually need to pay for a domain name. There are plenty of free alternatives if you ill like paying for a TLD, and in lieu of that you could just memorise the IP.

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
