hexbear

Hexbear.chat

Someone here already registered hexbear.gay that redirects to a community here, if getting access is an option. Fits with the majority of the userbase.

i'm with the folks wanting different variations of hexbear (.zone/.space/.chat/.red)

FINALLY! Finally it is time for hereshowberniecanstill.win

hexbear.zone

Any upbeared suggestion of a specific domain name will immediately get snapped up by other actors. I'd kind of advise against public specific suggestions.

Bearhex.net and we replace the hexagon shaped bears with bear shaped hexagons

donothing.win

Obvious option would be hexbear with an alternative to .net, like .su or something. Although sometimes .su gets auto flagged as malicious since there isn't a Soviet Union anymore, idk

I have a friend who is willing to help us get hexbear.su. I don't have a Russian passport, so the stability will be an issue, but we could get it for the bit. Should I pursue this?

Never mind, I didn't realize that an Amerikkkan passport works for .su

Whitehouse.gov

Would it be possible to contact the toots.matapacos.dog people and agree to share a second-level domain with them? So Hextube would become live.matapacos.dog, Hexbear could become... I'm not sure. It could take over matapacos.dog — which is currently just a static image of Matapacos that redirects to readsettlers.org after a few seconds — or Hexbear could take on any number of subdomains under matapacos.dog.

Put simply, with this approach we'd sort of pull a blahaj.zone vs lemmy.blahaj.zone and have two distinct fediverse instances sharing a "brand" without actually being the same site per se. When these two instances already have such close ties, I don't see why we shouldn't try to pool more resources, up to and including sharing a second-level domain, right?

...Or maybe this is a terrible idea and I'm just talking out my ass.

hexbear.red

I don't have a specific rec, just want to share a couple thoughts.

I like the idea of an .su domain, but that's not so important, if it wasn't something like .su then I like the idea of .lgbt. My more crucial point is that I personally want to avoid chapo related names. I've never listened to the podcast and I joined this site almost a year ago. I feel like I'm not one of the only post-chapo people, and I think that the name of the site and its communities should refect its growth beyond a subreddit. Emojis and such are fine, but I don't feel like any sort of return or reference is needed. Essentially a vote against chapo.(whatever) plus reasoning.

Lib.rehab was a classic Edit: lol it redirects to lemmy.world

We should probably just have the mods pick three options and register them before having a vote. Publicly voting before having the domains is just asking to get sniped.

I feel like most people won't care what the URL ends up as, as long as it isn't overtly objectionable.

I think the best option is some variation of hexbear as opposed to a whole new name. The only problem I could see from that is if whoever ends up buying the original domain redirects it to something horrible. Probably wouldn't want a similar domain name in that instance.

What about hexbear.ml?

HEXBEAR.SPACE

beanis.chat

hexbear.xyz is a cheap stopgap. If we prefer to take the opportunity to change the name, a number of more explicitly communist domains are available, such as red.forum joke options: thebigcommunism.builders chinese.bot

communismwill.win

Chapo.chat

hexbear.zone

for better SEO

exbear.net is available and you could make it h.exbear.net

Honeypot. [whatever] would be fun since we van keep the bear motif

I don't have any strong opinions about any particular name but this is a good opportunity to abandon the name that's based on a dead meme no one has posted in multiple years, and hopefully also not pick a new name based on a meme that will die in less than a year
