# 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

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.

Could be some crypto bros. Apparently they share name with some crypto currency

It has only 34 holders. That narrows it down... to 34.

I gave it a check, and apparently it's a dead cryptocoin. CoinGecko doesn't even list it, Etherscan gives it a market cap of $0.00, and the last transaction was 886d ago. Plus they already have a domain.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It narrows it down to people from instances that still federated with Hexbear and have money to spend on this stupid shit.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, there are plenty of people on unfederated instances who still obsess endlessly about hexbear.

Hard to forget an instance that openly threatens to kill you. Hexbear is hateful garbage.

instance that openly threatens to kill you

Wtf kind of fedilore did I miss 😀

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're exaggerating. Hexbear didn't threaten to kill at all, it was just a warning to class traitors and other would-be counterrevolutionary protesters. The vast majority of the proletariat would never put themselves in such a position.

It's a complete nothingburger.

They literally threatened my life, you're ignorant or paid.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Maybe you shouldn't have been a counter revolutionary chud?

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.
