It was $12 to renew?

What?

I bet they flamed the guy.

Apparently some old admin went afk and nobody else had access. So much for being a collective I guess.

That is quite funny 🙂

Come to think of it, maybe it's not that funny: if it stays down, a lot of the crazies who call it home it will open accounts this side of the hexbear defederation, and that's not a happy thought...

This is true, definitely not a very happy thought.

As an aside, it looks like they have a back-up domain, the drama here is hilarious: https://chapo.chat/

They're still poached though, all federation points to hexbear.net, domains are pretty central to Lemmy.

It will be interesting to see how they get out of this one.

what? what happened?

Looks like they forgot to renew it, someone else snapped it up and now it's up for auction. You could own hexbear I guess!
