hexbear.net comically loses its domain name
-

Yes... but the meme doesn't work if said practice is barely on the scale.
Because yeah, there are some REALLY sketchy registrars. Working with the "reputable" ones and now taking advantage of a nation's country code for the lulz (see: .ml) keeps you pretty safe.

The fuck is going on with this domain?
-
So this is a man-in-the-middle attack waiting to happen isn't it? Buy the domain, setup a reverse proxy that points to the original hexbear server IP and start logging all requests.
-
It has only three letters and its on the .com top-level domain. That's it.

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.

The common clay of the fediverse.

Is there a way to know who bought it? Did they get it back or is it some rando or is it a known third party?

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)
