Seems like they reclaimed it.
Last I heard, they failed the renewal and it was auctioning at $300 USD
It's really not clear that's what happened. A direct question and there's no real answer: https://hexbear.net/post/4470506
In the original thread about it there were people joking that the domain renewal didn't get paid after DOGE cut funding.
But it's just suspicious enough that if I were a user I'd not share any personal info and connect via a VPN...
What happend was:
Someone posted about them going down.
I checked their domain, it was down.
Then someone said they moved to chapo.chat
I checked and, indeed, they are up and running on the new domain.
Then, today, I was informed that chapo.chat now redirects to hexbear.net, and hexbear.net is up again.
Yes. But why? I wasn't able to find anything confirming the chain of events that led from an auction at over $2000 with the registration company refusing to cancel it, to Hexbear suddenly having their domain back and everything back to normal.
