Hi folks!

As most of you have already noticed, the technical issues blocking federation have finally been worked out, and we have refederated with Lemmygrad! Federation with other instances will come after we have confirmed no lingering ill effects from the retvrn-to-chapochat period, likely within the day. The change happened ~12 hours ago, but some further cajoling was necessary to get the servers actually talking again. (Edit: re-federation with other instances has begun. Edit 2: federation now enabled for all previously fed'ed instances)

Lemmygrad comrades, we are so happy to be back stalin-heart

(Thanks for making this graphic @TheImmortalScienceML@lemmygrad.ml )

Very happy to see my hexbear comrades back in the fediverse. Lemmy was libbing out way too hard, I left reddit years ago and would hate to see our beloved platform turn into another reddit. All hail the dirtbag left and hexbear!

I don't know if you really like Yoko or really hate Stalin...

Shush I know I copy-pasted my own comment

Nice, it was starting to get lonely in here without the lost libs wandering in and giving us fresh meat and slop. Immediate post federation Hexbear was probably the most fun I've ever had on this site.

Edit: Also welcome back to our lemmygrad comrades!

When I first heard of hexbear I thought it was a server full of beefy hairy men

[–] ZEDtheRED@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 3 days ago

Is it not? ; )

[–] Imnecomrade@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 3 days ago

I guess some of my posts that should have been crossposts between lemmygrad and hexbear either haven't fully synced, or maybe won't automatically sync due hexbear federation going down for a few months. Would be nice if lemmy had this feature if it doesn't already.

I had no idea what was going on I heard that someone else took the domain name and I thought that's what happened

[–] BoarAvoir@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

The domain name was originally registered with Sav.com, a particularly scummy registrar known for sniping and auctioning off dropped domains. As it turns out, they aren't any kinder to their own customers than anyone else, and without sufficient warning (seemingly in violation of ICANN policies), they sent our domain to be auctioned off when a scheduled payment didn't go through, kicking off a frenzy of anti-communists trying to buy it.

Specifically, a registrar operating in good faith will generally disable resolution of the domain after it has expired, to alert the owner/users that it is expired and in the grace period to renew, but Sav does not, preferring to take domain owners by surprise and let the domain fully expire, forcing them to compete on the open auction to get their domain back.

Somehow, we managed to transfer it out of Sav to a less scummy registrar during the auction, recovering the domain for free. However, the 2 weeks or so where we were operating off of chapo.chat as a backup domain ended up causing a lot of technical headaches and roadblocks to re-enabling federation, hence the delay.

Porkbun, ftwSorry, I keep accidentally using my other account because Jerboa doesn't link me to the instance the post is made in instead of the poster. I prefer to keep my accounts separate in each instance.
