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

I am seeing posts from https://hexbear.net/ once again. Anyone know what happened since they lost their domain name? How did they get it back?

That whole domain lost thing only lasted for a week or so and then they got it back. I don't know how they did it, maybe it was still on hold. The registrar seemed a bit shady to me... But they were back online a few days after that incident.

No, porkbun is legit.

Wasn't it sav.com or something? Pretty sure it wasn't porkbun.

Hmm, the auction domain was sav.com https://lemmy.world/post/25448410

I mean a whois as of now doesn't tell us what it was. And I remember some statement from them. Probably in their main channel(?) saying they consider switching DNS registrars...

I'm not that interested in Hexbear, so somone else has to look it up if we want a definite answer.
