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.
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.
The said I was going to “get the wall” when they started their revolution, as in they were going to execute me with a firing squad. They also followed me around and down voted everything I posted, so I had to abandon that account.
I’m dead serious about it and also dead serious about hating them for threatening my life. Fuck them.
I know. It implied it narrowed it down by a little, but i was implying it didn’t narrow it down at all. Tbf mine was a bad one, but i understood the original one. Deleted the joke lmao
The other possibility is that its 2 hexbearites who are trying to save the site, not realising they are bidding against each other. Would be pretty silly if that was it.
“During this downtime we would be reestablishing access to the new domain (or hexbear.net if we win the auction), access to server ownership, and donation accounts.”
That’s from the We Fucked Up thread on Chapo.chat
so they seem to have had at least some intention of bidding, but that was when it was under 1k.
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.
You not believing a thing, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening, it only means you’re either not paying enough attention, or choosing not to look, in all likelihood to preserve your own comfort. So I’ll say it again - take your head out your ass, and check your privilege.
You believe one thing and I believe another. Why don’t you take your head out of your ass and look around? Nobody seriously believes that nobody is struggling right now.
Relevant to note that every other bid comes from the same bidder, j_s_0e6b87. Here’s what I’m guessing about them:
It narrows it down to people from instances that still federated with Hexbear and have money to spend on this stupid shit.
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.
Wtf kind of fedilore did I miss 😀
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.
Maybe you shouldn’t have been a counter revolutionary chud?
Well… https://sh.itjust.works/post/27494947
Oh, it’s that one
The said I was going to “get the wall” when they started their revolution, as in they were going to execute me with a firing squad. They also followed me around and down voted everything I posted, so I had to abandon that account.

No it doesn’t. It could be Ted Danson. And I assume Ted Danson doesn’t even know about the fediverse.
It couldn’t be Ted Danson, surely?
That’s fair, I agree with you, I just wanted to use the meme
Fair 😄
It narrows it down?
It’s a joke about the fact that there are a lot of people who have a thing against hexbear
I know, i was saying having a grudge with hexbear doesn’t narrow it down at all, lmao.
That’s the joke
I know. It implied it narrowed it down by a little, but i was implying it didn’t narrow it down at all. Tbf mine was a bad one, but i understood the original one. Deleted the joke lmao
it didn’t tho
Yeah i didn’t think too deeply about my joke, will edit the parent comment.
The other possibility is that its 2 hexbearites who are trying to save the site, not realising they are bidding against each other. Would be pretty silly if that was it.
I went and read the hexbear thread on this. Here’s some summary from over there:
“If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying.”
I have no idea where you are getting the intention to bid when the admins have repeatedly stated the opposite.
“During this downtime we would be reestablishing access to the new domain (or hexbear.net if we win the auction), access to server ownership, and donation accounts.”
That’s from the We Fucked Up thread on Chapo.chat
so they seem to have had at least some intention of bidding, but that was when it was under 1k.
No one on hexbear is wasting money on the domain. The consensus is that the money is much better spent on mutual aid.
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.
Huh. Hexbear, the instance, gets its namesake from this photograph:
I wonder how the cryptocurrency ended up with the same name.
That’s on brand, they do love their shitposting
What? Ironic
It’s now edging up towards $2500!
Ngl. I was tempted to drop up to $1K on them just to fucking take it out of their hands.
I don’t exactly like Hexbear, but I got to agree with one of its users that this sort of money is better spent on charity. Such as helping a child to get a prosthetic leg and medical attention.
It’s 2025, $710 is pocket change for anyone who can still afford to eat.
I bet j_s_0e6b87 has eggs at every meal
That’s seriously out of touch, check your privilege.
I thought it was a joke.
There are a lot of people who genuinely believe shit like that, even on lemmy.
I really don’t believe that’s anywhere remotely close to true.
You not believing a thing, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening, it only means you’re either not paying enough attention, or choosing not to look, in all likelihood to preserve your own comfort. So I’ll say it again - take your head out your ass, and check your privilege.
You believe one thing and I believe another. Why don’t you take your head out of your ass and look around? Nobody seriously believes that nobody is struggling right now.
What the fuck man?
710$ is like 65% of my monthly expenses.
Daaamn my monthly expenses are like 2.5kUSD (5k split with my partner)
