I also miss our dope-ass bear shaped comrades πŸ₯Ί

I hope they manage to refederate soon.

Surprised you haven't heard, it's a whole big thing. They lost access to their domain and shut down federation while it gets sorted out. Last I heard they have the domain back and will refederate once some other technical shit is in place. Try [email protected] for updates. I miss them too.

After losing and regaining their domain name, it’s been defederated from everyone for weeks.

$ curl -sw\\n https://hexbear.net/api/v3/federated_instances
{}
$

They’re still ironing out refederation details: How should Hexbear federate?

How they recovered the domain? They paid the extortion bid?

Nah, they figured out some kind of appeal and host transfer

The good ending.
