Welp
Tired: Lenin’s on sale again
Wired: Hexbear is a shitcoin
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.
I need a reminder of what hexbear is about. I recall something... off.
Tankie instance
They're part of the Tankie Triad (.ml, lemmygrad, hexbear). Quite possibly the worst of the triad
And here I was complaining about cheeseburger.social going down. Our user count was well into the dozens. Dozens!
So.... who's outbidding them? Someone from tankiejerk? Or are their being taken over by lemmygrad, to be introduced to Socialism with Dessaline characteristics?
Hard to say, we'll have to wait and see who gets it.
I personally think there's no point for them to try and get it back, they'll most likely come back under a different domain.
Insert oh-no-well-anyway meme here.
lol.
Oh it couldn't have happened to a better bunch! 😈
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?
Perfect domain for a shitcoin.
It's (un)amusing how the Fediverse of all things still depends on a system of identity that relies on forcing trust on a third party that can take that identity from you at any point and without recourse (within that system). Or, you know, you can "forget to drink your internet identity verification can for the commercial god", which is just as (un)funny.
Digital trust is a really complicated thing. DNS sure beats most of the alternative I can think of.
lol
The fuck is going on with this domain?
It has only three letters and its on the .com top-level domain. That's it.
