    It’s really not clear that’s what happened. A direct question and there’s no real answer: https://hexbear.net/post/4470506

    In the original thread about it there were people joking that the domain renewal didn’t get paid after DOGE cut funding.

    But it’s just suspicious enough that if I were a user I’d not share any personal info and connect via a VPN…

        Yes. But why? I wasn’t able to find anything confirming the chain of events that led from an auction at over $2000 with the registration company refusing to cancel it, to Hexbear suddenly having their domain back and everything back to normal.
