No way, after all that posting hexbear is defeated by capitalism????

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Nah. Socialists can charge for services.

It was defeated by an admin being so done with their shit he couldn't be bothered lol.

Edit:

Actually. No. Wait a fucking minute.

This admin went spotty on contact like 3 months ago, right?

In November? And then he both didn't want to give up control, but also didn't want to pay a small amount of money. Like maybe he got what he wanted from the community and pulled the plug? Because it was never about the community.

I bid seventy cents, two peanut shells, and a cancelled postage stamp.

[–] sulgoth 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Wait, postage stamps can be cancelled?

[–] rob_t_firefly 19 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That stamp knows what it did.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

The postage stamp asked strangers to lick its behind!

Blaming capitalism for domain names being a nightmare is hilarious, they are insanely cheap its 12$ a year for a .com, that is all, lol.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is just straight up bad planning, they said they have jobs and lives like bro you turn on autorenew you put money in the card, any local business has no issues holding their domain for a decade lol, how do you just not make having it with the person hosting the site a priority.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

The admins made a rookie mistake: they believed someone on the Internet.

"I'll do it tomorrow" means fucking never. Nah, bitch, do it TODAY.

This is IMO a risk for many individual owned fediverse instance. Someone has a domain, at a point other admin take over, and the domain owner doesn't renew no matter whether they forget because real life happens or due to some Drama.

Very few instances have a clear legal organizational (like a non profit club) running, which is more flexible when founders step out

They were established 4+ years ago just to cause the dnc to lose an election in 2024?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago (5 children)

Yes, are you unaware of how Russian propaganda works?

The DNC did not lose. We are the losers. You and me will feel the impact way more than well to do politicians.
