Hexbear Proposals chapo.chat matrix room.
This will be a place for site proposals and discussion before implementation on the site.
Every proposal will also be mirrored into a pinned post on the hexbear community.
Any other ideas for helping to integrate the two spaces are welcome to be commented here or messaged to me directly.
Within Hexbear Proposals you can see the history of all site proposals and react to them, indicating a vote for or against a proposal.
Sending messages will be restricted to verified and active hexbear accounts older than 1 month with their matrix id in their hexbear user profile.
All top level messages within the channel must be a Proposals (idea for changing the site), Feedback (regarding non-technical aspects of the site, for technical please use https://hexbear.net/c/feedback), or Appeals (regarding admin/moderator actions).
Discussion regarding these will be within nested threads under the post.
To gain matrix verification, all you need to do is navigate to my hexbear userprofile and click the send a secure private message including your hexbear username.

Hello users of hexbear, or shall i say chapo.chat, we fucked up, and i fucked up like three times making this post.
Yes, hexbear.net has expired. Yes, we were aware of this possibility. We have gradually lost contact with the access owner (prior admin) for the domain registration. We attempted to make a migration plan, but we were disarmed by the reappearance of the party in question in September 2024 and repeated assurances that they would a) transfer credentials and b) continue payments until they were able to do the former.
We accept full responsibility for this. We should have been more aggressive about this and continued our alternative despite these reassurances. This is our fuck up, and we can't offer anything besides our continued apologies and our plan of action going forward and an explanation of what happened:
Over the time of chapo.chat and hexbear.net the admins that purchased the domain, established the donation accounts, and the server accounts have left. One of the primary admins has gone inactive and returned many times, over a year ago some of the newer admins began asking the older admins to give full access to the domain, servers, and donations. These requests were not met, despite warnings of this exact event.
At the moment we do not have access to hexbear.net and there is a strong chance we will not get it back without participating in the auction, which is already over $300. Choosing to abandon the hexbear.net domain will cause federation problems and considerable technical issues which would lead to potential extended downtime.
During this downtime we would be reestablishing access to the new domain (or hexbear.net if we win the auction), access to server ownership, and donation accounts. This would be distributed among a number of admins so that we can prevent this from happening again.
Chapo.chat has the same access problem that led to the current state of hexbear.net so it is to be considered temporary.
I will do my best to answer questions

Actually not bad

FINALLY! Finally it is time for hereshowberniecanstill.win
i'm with the folks wanting different variations of hexbear (.zone/.space/.chat/.red)
Would make it a lot easier for people, who are currently in the dark about current events, finding this place again.
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
we could maybe get a cn or hk domain that may get us unbanned in china
Whitehouse.gov
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
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.
Chapo.chat
this domain name has the same issue that caused the hexbear.net outage
shitbird.com
hexbear.red
donothing.win
communismwill.win
beanis.chat
Anything in the
.cn,.vn, or.lanamespaces would be funny, for obvious reasons..cnis quite expensive, about $32/year, and requires you to either prove your identity or use a registrar (like 101domains) who will register it under their contact information for you..vnand.laare much cheaper and are available to anyone.Pick your path, we're either Chinese, Vietnamese, or Laos bots.
—So are you Chinese or Vietnamese?
—We're Laotian.
—The ocean? What ocean?

very much hoping we go off hexbear, if we do im changing the deal i made tjo whatever the new logo is and tbh i really would like it to have some sort of communist imagery in it instead of it being a cartoon hexagon bear lol.
i like redbear the most out of anything that i've seen proposed, and the .lgbt or .su for the extension
