Well I’m impressed that just defederating from them was enough to basically kill the site.
I thought were defederated most of their existence though? I wonder what changed.
not everyone was, our instance held out as long as possible because were very pro free speech.
Nahh - further back, before they could even be defederated, they spent first years voluntarily isolating themselves from the larger fediverse. Just surprising is all, I was under the impression hexbear was very self sustaining.
Edit- looking like this wasn’t intentional, explains a lot.
Y’all defederated recently? Can you link the thread?

at least I think we did, not sure tbh. We definitely talked about it.
Ok thanks. Yeah you’re definitely defederated, you can see hexbear on the blocked instances tab.
We absolutely definitely did:-)
You’re awesome
What? That has nothing at all to do with the reason the domain expired. It has been in a predicament for a while, site admins lost contact with the owner of the domain name. This has been coming for some time.
