I'm OOTL on hexbear. I know its tankie, but wasn't it a continuation of the chapo trap house subreddit which was was leftie memes? And chapo trap house started from supporters of the podcast, which is run by Democratic socialists. How did the community get so tankie?

If I had disposable income, I would massively overbid everyone and just replace the server with a photo of Winnie the Pooh.
-
Just host a redirect to Wikipedia page of Tiananmen square?
-
OMG that would be hilarious, I am definitely not considering taking a loan out for this lmaooo
-
Can you imagine talking with a bank accountant to sign off on that loan?
"So are you looking to invest in a personal buisness or a down payment on a car or maybe invest in an asset? So what is it cm0002? What would this capital be going towards, what plans do you have to properly utilize this investment?
"I want to win a online auction so I possess a domain name of a niche internet fourm populated by mentally unwell politically extreme nutjobs and general morons. From there I may use the domain to redirect its user to a funny picture insulting them, I dunno havent thought that out too hard yet but the tankies will be fucking OWNED by the time in done with their precious domain." "...."
"...."
"...."
"Okay I guess I can scrape their private information and sell it to the highest bidders, im sure theres a few advertisers and government agencies that wouldn't mind paying to add some names to a list."
"..."
"..."
"Your interest rate for this 12,000$ loan will be 43% and pray I dont alter the deal further. Sign the line and get out of my face you fucking peasant. Have fun paying this off for a quarter of your lifetime."

Maybe being held by Putler with heavy makeup?

LOL @ “It’s because capitalism ruined DNS”
-
DNS is enough to ruin DNS, it doesn't need help from any outside influence.
Source: It's always DNS.
-
How could it ever not be DNS?

Since there will likely be a flood of people from hexbear that no longer trust the admins some will likely move to another instance. Make sure to report any tankie behavior you see.
-
Considering that tankies are already treated with kid gloves by many mods who are afraid of being accused of 'bias' (despite tankies accusing them of bias even when they're treated with the utmost patience), this doesn't bode well.
-
Yeah I'm very curious how this ends up affecting lemmy as a whole.
-
-
You don't have to tell me twice lmao
-
-
So... How did they lose the domain?
-
Word on the Lemmy-verse is that the admin in charge of the infrastructure went MIA and someone was waiting to snatch it as soon as it expired and threw it up for auction
-
-
Who bought (or almost bought) InfoWars? Was that The Onion? Someone should let them know!
-
Please god, make some rich dude buy it and redirect it to .world it would be so fucking funny
-
Auction is up and going everyone LMAO
-
$300? That's the best you can do?
-
$505 as of now
-
It's more than doubled since I went to bed last night. Over $700 now.
-
-
It's all the way up to $305 now! Things are heating up! Will it get to $310?
-
Wouldn't they just move to Hex-bear.co or something if they lose this one?
-
-
-
I'll wait out the auction and grab it if it's reasonable.
Hell, someone just start a gofundme and we can collectively buy it and hand the name over to blahaj, just for the lulz.

LMFAO I'd pitch in some money to see that lolol
-
It's $500 and aint worth a shit anyway, but if someone want to waste their money i wont tell them no x).
Though a lot of them moving to other ml instances could maybe push the fediverse to defederate from all 3 of them.
