Looks like hexbear will be funded after all
Sadly I'm afraid Hexbear doesn't get the Xi-bux it rightly deserves, it's even blocked by the great Chinese firewall (thought the reasons aren't clear). I wish the left was as well funded as people claim :(
You joke, but it looks like they actually did manage to regain their domain. Not sure how.
Last I read, the admin who was a day late in paying Sav for the renewal was actually able to transfer the domain to a different registrar (PorkBun) before Sav's auction of the domain was complete. This maneuver was either something that Sav's auction designers hadn't anticipated, or the auction was compromised because the main bidder (j_s_) was a hexbear user who'd found a way to make unauthenticated bids.
At any rate, I don't think they paid thousands for it.
Money most likely.
Nah, hexbear admins and users were pretty clear and unanimous from minute 1 that they'd rather have that money spent in mutual aid (go visit c/mutual_aid in Hexbear if you're interested) than in giving money to a cyberlandlord.
I heard they just a bunch of crypto they forgot about.
