Hexbear DNS issue (lemmygrad.ml)

See this post (chapo.chat is an alternate domain name for Hexbear).

Hexbear also has an official Mastodon account, where admins post updates. You can append .rss to the URL to get an RSS feed.

I wonder if there's just a ring of people who just bid up domains in collusion with the registrar.

God what a fucking shitty company. Holding your domain hostage and then you get to "bid" to get your domain back.

Fuck these assholes.

Might also mostly be domain scavenging bots that slap garbage ad sites up on high-ish traffic sites.

Hexbear also shares a name with some random crypto coin, that could be a reason the bidding is going so high. random libs wanting to one up da tankies, and also crypto bros gunning for the domain.

Crypto bros can't take the domain

Wait, isn't the domain independent?

Ugh, how do I get an independent domain?!

I need one for my forum.
