I went and read the hexbear thread on this. Here's some summary from over there:

  • Current hexbear admins lost the domain because the registration was controlled by a single inactive / flaky admin.
  • hexbear admin stated an intention to bid in this auction to get their name back.
  • chapo.chat is a temporary domain solution only.
  • they are also deciding on backup names if they don't win the auction

    I have no idea where you are getting the intention to bid when the admins have repeatedly stated the opposite.

    "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."

    That's from the We Fucked Up thread on Chapo.chat

    so they seem to have had at least some intention of bidding, but that was when it was under 1k.

    hexbear admin stated an intention to bid in this auction to get their name back.

    "If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they’re lying."
