5 bidders in a bid war that ends in 9 days and its already at $505
Damn, today’s the last day?
I wonder if there’s just a ring of people who just bid up domains in collusion with the registrar.
God what a fucking shitty company. Holding your domain hostage and then you get to “bid” to get your domain back.
Fuck these assholes.
Wait, isn’t the domain independent?
Ugh, how do I get an independent domain?!
I need one for my forum.
Might also mostly be domain scavenging bots that slap garbage ad sites up on high-ish traffic sites.
Hexbear also shares a name with some random crypto coin, that could be a reason the bidding is going so high. random libs wanting to one up da tankies, and also crypto bros gunning for the domain.
three way brawl between radlibs fascists and crypto bros lol
And we’re just over here eating popcorn and watching the tire fire
Crypto bros can’t take the domain
that’s just one guy fighting with himself!
Could also be one of those freaks who have the free time and disposable money to buy the lemmygrad.com domain
oh fuck
i was Not prepared to see where that redirected to. fuck
Wow that’s really funny.
Used to be a maga page earlier
For anyone wondering, it redirects to the website of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh.
Is that funded by AIPAC?
The first words I read were
I can’t say if it’s funded by AIPAC but we can at the very least clearly see where the organization’s priorities lie.
Let them have it, at least they cant do worse with that money. Pathetic idiots
It’s at nearly $700 now. I am not one to peddle baseless weirdo conspiracy theories but this seems sus af.
What we know: The user that previously held ownership of the OG domain has ceased contact and the domain is now up for auction.
Tinfoil hat time: The deep state is going to start targeting sites and communities like this because we offer a very meager threat to them and much like us they know dissent must be eradicated at its roots.
Simplest answer: it’s the crypto scammers of hexbear.io driving it up
I really have no idea what a high traffic domain name is worth in terms of revenue from throwing garbage ads up on it. Maybe $700 isn’t out of the ordinary.
What if they train an AI on the old posts and have it continue posting under our old handles and styles in perpetuity, a Chuck-E-Cheese of leftist thought replete with beanis and PPB?
It’ll just be libs and maybe misguided comrades with too much money thinking the domain name actually matters. It’s not like hexbear gets linked from outside that often. I hope some maligned lib pays $5k for it, realises it’s worth nothing, and starts a journey where they learn to touch grass instead.
