hexbear.net comically loses its domain name
-
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)
-
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.
