    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:

      • Current hexbear admins lost the domain because the registration was controlled by a single inactive / flaky admin.
      • hexbear admin stated an intention to bid in this auction to get their name back.
      • chapo.chat is a temporary domain solution only.
      • they are also deciding on backup names if they don’t win the auction
