Rules

Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.

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

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.

It's 2025, $710 is pocket change for anyone who can still afford to eat.

I bet j_s_0e6b87 has eggs at every meal

That's seriously out of touch, check your privilege.

I thought it was a joke.

There are a lot of people who genuinely believe shit like that, even on lemmy.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I really don't believe that's anywhere remotely close to true.

You not believing a thing, doesn't mean it isn't happening, it only means you're either not paying enough attention, or choosing not to look, in all likelihood to preserve your own comfort. So I'll say it again - take your head out your ass, and check your privilege.

You believe one thing and I believe another. Why don't you take your head out of your ass and look around? Nobody seriously believes that nobody is struggling right now.
