Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Just add the following line to your host file and add an override to your DNS:

37.187.73.130 hexbear.net

Problem solved, this is how we did it in 1985.

I prefer:

0.0.0.0 hexbear.net

Found their missing admin!

[–] GhostOfHoxha@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 months ago

lol at the idea of just running the site off their laptop or something for all these years. Any time the site went down it was just them closing the lid.

This won't work in the fediverse. Sure you'll be able to reach hexbear but no fediverse server would be able to federate content into it.

[–] bastion@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

no problem.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Is Hexbear even federated with anything?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're on one of the many instances Hexbear is federated with. It's more that a few of the larger instances like .world are defederated.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't see much Hexbear floating by here.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 months ago

They show up on Lemmy.ml if someone federated with Hexbear posts there, as an example.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

The instance that I'm on for example.

federation isn't working for hexbear currently due to them loosing the domain

~~so that IP resolves to https://chapo.chat/ but it uses the Hexbear.net's resources?~~

oh now I understand...

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 2 months ago

yes that is the mirror hostname basically (they already had in the past as well).

But I'm now for example able to just visit: https://hexbear.net/communities. And yes I do believe we just reach the same server actually (more or less, maybe kept in sync manually).

Ps. I was born in 1989. Lol
