This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

I know this meme can be kinda edgy, but I actually enjoyed some Hexbear communities I watched on my lurking.
Very unlikely to be the end of the instance, thankfully. It'll just change name to something else silly.
But what about things like the emojis?
Are those backed up somewhere to be uploaded on another instance? Do we even know the list of communities we had? I feel like it's going to take so much to even migrate.
Ur misunderstanding what happened. This has nothing to do with the servers. This is just a DNS issue. The URL doesnt direct to the servers correctly. But the server is still there. Running normally.
Ooh, okay. Yeah, I don't know anything about this stuff.
That's good to hear though if it makes migrating easier.
Ok so when you go to google.com first your computer connects to a DNS server. This server usually set by your ISP unless you changed it manually, has a list of URLs and their IPs.
Lets says google.com points to the IP 1.2.3.4.5 the DNS server sends you do that IP which is the actual IP of the host server for googles website.
If you just typed in google.com and had no DNS server your browser would get an error and display nothing.
When you run a site like hexbear.net you need to BUY a url to have point to your IP. This involves paying a monthly fee. If you dont pay it then it can be bought by someone else. And they can point the URL to a different IP.
This is what has happened. The Hexbear.net url wasnt paid for and is now up for auction. Whoever buys the URL can point it anywhere they want. But if the people who run the hexbear site want they can just get a new URL and point it to their server. Thats why chapo.chat still works.
