Relevant to note that every other bid comes from the same bidder, j_s_0e6b87. Here's what I'm guessing about them:

  • They likely know about Hexbear, since they were bidding on the address right off the bat.
  • They aren't a domain squatter. A domain squatter would try to minimise the amount of money spent on a domain; and yet they're bidding too early, too frequently, and values considerably higher than the necessary to be the top bidder.
  • They aren't using automated tools, since the the times and values between the others' bids and theirs are too erratic.
  • Either they don't plan to actually win the bid, OR they have lots of money (to the point that US$710 is pocket change for them) and really, really bad blood against Hexbear.

really, really bad blood against Hexbear.

It narrows it down to people from instances that still federated with Hexbear and have money to spend on this stupid shit.

[-] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 37 points 2 months ago

Nah, there are plenty of people on unfederated instances who still obsess endlessly about hexbear.

Hard to forget an instance that openly threatens to kill you. Hexbear is hateful garbage.

The said I was going to "get the wall" when they started their revolution, as in they were going to execute me with a firing squad. They also followed me around and down voted everything I posted, so I had to abandon that account.

I'm dead serious about it and also dead serious about hating them for threatening my life. Fuck them.

That's fair, I agree with you, I just wanted to use the meme

No it doesn't. It could be Ted Danson. And I assume Ted Danson doesn't even know about the fediverse.

It couldn't be Ted Danson, surely?

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
