Please god, make some rich dude buy it and redirect it to .world it would be so fucking funny
- If the bidding doesn't hit at least 6 digits, then we know for sure that Hexbear's paranoia about the CIA undermining them is unfounded 🕶
  
  Lol seriously i hope this inspires more instances to defederate from all the ML instances, since a lot of hexbear users will be pissing off to grad or .ml

Since there will likely be a flood of people from hexbear that no longer trust the admins some will likely move to another instance. Make sure to report any tankie behavior you see.
- Considering that tankies are already treated with kid gloves by many mods who are afraid of being accused of 'bias' (despite tankies accusing them of bias even when they're treated with the utmost patience), this doesn't bode well.
  
  Yeah I'm very curious how this ends up affecting lemmy as a whole.
- You don't have to tell me twice lmao

If I had disposable income, I would massively overbid everyone and just replace the server with a photo of Winnie the Pooh.
- Just host a redirect to Wikipedia page of Tiananmen square?
- Maybe being held by Putler with heavy makeup?
- OMG that would be hilarious, I am definitely not considering taking a loan out for this lmaooo

So... How did they lose the domain?
- Word on the Lemmy-verse is that the admin in charge of the infrastructure went MIA and someone was waiting to snatch it as soon as it expired and threw it up for auction

Who bought (or almost bought) InfoWars? Was that The Onion? Someone should let them know!
