Blaming capitalism for domain names being a nightmare is hilarious, they are insanely cheap its 12$ a year for a .com, that is all, lol.
Not rlly there is a biding ongoing on hexbear.net namedomaine, the highest offer right now is 700 $
They were in contact with the dude who owns it a few times, wouldve taken minutes to add them as authorized users
They literally didnt pay their under 20$ a year fee for renewal, its their own fault for not having the domain be with the same person managing hosting, it's like amateur stuff to at least have them be an authorized user.
This is just straight up bad planning, they said they have jobs and lives like bro you turn on autorenew you put money in the card, any local business has no issues holding their domain for a decade lol, how do you just not make having it with the person hosting the site a priority.
