Rules

  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.
  3. 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

JS has bid 26 times now without missing a beat. It's up to $2,345. That's insane.. and with 8 days left! Like bruhh what?? I refuse to believe they genuinely want to purchase it vs just driving up the price.

It's a popcorn fest for everyone! Including Hexbear users, they clearly don't give a fuck about the address itself.

My guesses are, in order:

  1. Same as you, they're just driving up the price. They'll stop bidding near the end.
  2. They genuinely want the address because they have some really bad bone to pick against HB, and they have more than enough money to waste on it.
  3. Some really clueless HB user wants the address, even if their own admins said to not bother.

Theres also the possibility it's the owner of the scamcoin which is also named hexbear

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Unlikely. As I mentioned elsewhere, the last transaction of said coin was 886d ago, and it's priced at zero. That coin is dead.

Unless someone is doing a very elaborate and well executed bit (not completely out of the question....) It might be hex.com bidding on it https://chapo.chat/post/4470270

The funny is back on

That post in Chapo Chat is clearly a joke/troll, from a local user there. They're tagging pronouns correctly and in a rather standard way, replying to the most inane comments, "confusing" Marx with Max...

Plus if Hex owner[s] were annoyed with stuff associated with their coin, they'd go after the hexbear.io defunct coin too.

~~Trust me, I've been trolling online communities for 30 years. I still miss my Yahoo! Answers trolls. I can recognise another troll from a single misplaced pixel!~~

Yeah they let it slip towards the end lol

Same, it's going to be an intense 9 days from now on. The finale is a great mystery as to how will everything turn out. What will be the final price? Will people cancel their bids? What will be shown on the new site? Who's the one bidding? Who will win? And all the drama and arguing in the meantime too. Lemmy's going to be busy.
