It's what the people want and you know it

Just wanted to get this thought out there. Space on the internet is infinite, and changing to a new domain is easy and cheap. Let the people who have poisoned their brains with anti tankie rhetoric pay the DNS landlord hundreds of dollars for the privilege of setting up a redirect to NATO's website or whatever, our money and effort is better spent on literally anything else.

The absolute spirit is in control

Into the long, dark night.

It was an honor, chapo.chat.

This is too much snow and I would like to do things outside. I would like to replace winter with a second spring. If I get 10k signatures, Obama HAS to respond.

Trump is in office. There's a global pandemic spreading. There are protests in the streets.

What year is it?

Do you really want to have to explain to your boss why your browsing logs are showing a dramatic drop from your assigned interweb beat, hexbear.net? Do you really think they're gonna have the slightest clue how domains work? Can you imagine the ignorant questions about expiration dates and if it's still gonna be safe to eat? Just do us all a favor, we know you can do it. Fix the ownership and then we can all go back to pretending we're leftists on the internet.

Hexbear could really use your powers of necromancy right now.

(Imagine an excessive use of emojis in this space)

I am in contact with Melina. I have been informed Melina is prepared to spend up to $3000 to purchase the domain and do untold nefarious damage to the valuable Hexbear Worldwide Associates brand

If you have any money to spare, please please PLEASE buy ice cream instead of contributing to purchasing the hexbear domain. Any use of your money is more worthwhile than getting into a bidding war with Melina over chacha

DNS is the most neoliberal shit system that too many have just accepted as how computers work and always worked to the point where I have heard actual landlord arguments deployed to defend it

It's administered by ICANN, which is like the ideal neoliberal email factory NGO that justifies the de facto monopoly of a tiny few companies with responsible internet government-stewardship stakeholderism, etc type bureaucracy while upholding the right of domain landlords to charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars in rent for like 37 bytes on a server somewhere lol

Before this it was administered by the US military-industrial complex, you can thank Bill Clinton and the US Chamber of Commerce for this version of it along with Binky Moon for giving us cheap .shit TLDs for 3 dollars for the first year

Never forget the architects of the internet were some of the vilest US MIC and Silicon Valley ghouls who ever lived and they are still in control fundamentally no matter how much ICANN and IANA claim to be non-partison, neutral, non-political, accountable, democratic, international, stewardshipismists

"Nooooo we're running out of IPv4 addresses and we still can't get everyone to use the vastly better IPv6 cuz uhhh personal network responsibility. Whattttt?????? You want to take the US Department of Defense's multiple /8 blocks? That's uhhhh not possible for reasons :|" Internet is simultaneously a free-market hellscape where everyone with an ASN is free to administer it however they want while at the same time everyone is forced into contracts with massive (usually US-based) transit providers who actually run all the cables and stuff. Ohhh you wanna run traffic across MYYYYYYY NETWORK DOMAINNNNNNN????? That'll be...... 1 cent per packet please, money please now money now please money now money please now now nwoN OWOW
