The reason to pay is not to keep the domain for sentimental reasons or whatever but because it's an actual security risk to allow someone to jack your domain.

A bad actor who has the domain can very easily setup an identical looking site that can capture login attempts along with ips allowing them to put a username to an ip and and with additional resources could put an ip and therefore a user name to a real name.

They could also use the fake site to do all sorts of phishing scams like fake mutual aid requests, linking to external sites that are also honeypots to get more personal info than most would be willing to divulge on hexbear itself and could also ~~send DMs~~ impersonate any user on the site including to scam users on other servers like lemmygrad who might not know what is going on.

It's easily worth a few hundred to prevent some comrades getting scammed and doxxed.

No the most cringe thing would be to change the domain to herturn.net and turn it into a Hillary fansite

Heh, this will show those loony tankerinos that neoliberalism is king [pays $6,900 for hexbear dot net to redirect it to r/neoliberal]

(The Loony Tankerinos): hehehe infinite domains go brrrrrrr

The dialectical inversion to this is that the most demonic thing a r/destiny user could do is spend like $10,000 on buying it and specifically flaunt that they're doing that instead of doing anything good with the money.

If anyone actually drops money on it I suggest we all collectively make fun of them for wasting money

Absolutely. There's no need to spend hundreds of bucks keeping a specific name. Spend the money on cat treats instead

What if we're all just as annoying as possible to the company auctioning it until they give it to us?

Also, we all know someone's handler is just going to hand over a credit card so that they can buy the site. The question is, who actually gets it? It'll probably be some annoying radlib performative bs about tankies that was well worth the $69,420 that was spent on it.

What is the action at so far?

Idk losing the site in the first place was pretty cringe

I asked this in the big thread, but how will I find the the new site if we lose this domain? How do we communicate if we can't get into this domain? I don't really know how the Internet works lol
