Guys, they already switched to chapo.chat, all you’re doing is emptying your pockets to give to some criminals.
Didn’t their post say that domain name is also in the same situation?
Fuck El Chapo, fuck his sons, and fuck his shitty criminal enterprise.
You realize this is just the name of the podcast the community spawned from right?
No, I’ve never heard of that podcast but if they named it as a tribute to the Guzman family they can go fuck themselves too.
I mean, it’s in reference, not tribute. It’s not that serious dude.
They chose the name Chapo Trap House in the first episode as a joking reference to the Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán and a slang term for a drug house, intending the title to sound like the title of a rap mixtape
Yeah is not that serious, but I have my reasons to tell them to go ride a dick and fuck themselves.
Also we need to stop talking about these people, paying tribute, referencing them, respecting them, etc.
I’m kind of tempted to buy it…
Edit: you can’t tell me it wouldn’t be funny to host an instance the exact opposite of what hexbear stands for right now at its URL
Why admit you want to host a Nazi instance? Trump won’t fuck you.
Oh I don’t. I just want to troll the hexbear people. Make it opposite of what they are. It’d be hilarious
The opposite of hexbears ideology would be Nazis, you want to run a Nazi site.
Man Canada needs to just be the US’ 51st state. Birds of a feather and all that.
Relevant to note that every other bid comes from the same bidder, j_s_0e6b87. Here’s what I’m guessing about them:
- They likely know about Hexbear, since they were bidding on the address right off the bat.
- They aren’t a domain squatter. A domain squatter would try to minimise the amount of money spent on a domain; and yet they’re bidding too early, too frequently, and values considerably higher than the necessary to be the top bidder.
- They aren’t using automated tools, since the the times and values between the others’ bids and theirs are too erratic.
- Either they don’t plan to actually win the bid, OR they have lots of money (to the point that US$710 is pocket change for them) and really, really bad blood against Hexbear.
really, really bad blood against Hexbear.
It narrows it down to people from instances that still federated with Hexbear and have money to spend on this stupid shit.
Nah, there are plenty of people on unfederated instances who still obsess endlessly about hexbear.
Hard to forget an instance that openly threatens to kill you. Hexbear is hateful garbage.
instance that openly threatens to kill you
Wtf kind of fedilore did I miss 😀
They’re exaggerating. Hexbear didn’t threaten to kill at all, it was just a warning to class traitors and other would-be counterrevolutionary protesters. The vast majority of the proletariat would never put themselves in such a position.
It’s a complete nothingburger.
They literally threatened my life, you’re ignorant or paid.
The said I was going to “get the wall” when they started their revolution, as in they were going to execute me with a firing squad. They also followed me around and down voted everything I posted, so I had to abandon that account.
I’m dead serious about it and also dead serious about hating them for threatening my life. Fuck them.
The other possibility is that its 2 hexbearites who are trying to save the site, not realising they are bidding against each other. Would be pretty silly if that was it.
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
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.”
Can someone explain to me what hexbear is?
It’s an instance for Communists. Unpopular with the liberal/moderate Lemmy crowd.
It’s unpopular with actual leftists as well. Because it’s a toxic mess.
What is an “actual leftist?” Why would Hexbear not count as Leftist?
Because leftists usually defend human rights, and the authoritarian regimes defended by some people on Hexbear (but also lemmygrad and ml) tend to attack those human rights when they are in the way of their ideology (not unlike the far right politicians).
That’s very vague and doesn’t really say anything though. Why should someone listen to your take on it?
It’s complete nonsense. Hexbear/lemmygrad/.ml have views that are consistent with pretty much every real life communist party, especially those in the global south.
If you don’t like communism that’s fine, but these textbook social democrats proclaiming themselves to be the true leftists are a joke. I think they just like the leftist label without having to actually walk the walk.
I’m sorry did you just pull the “not radical enough” card on hexbear?
Mate I like your line but chill choom
Not much more reasons that listening to yours, we are just some pseudonyms sharing opinions on a public forum.
I feel that your comment was so vague it didn’t end up saying anything though.
An instance full of toxic tankies who spam and brigade as their hobby. Nobody liked them except some tankies on lemmy.ml.
Hexbear is (was) an instance that’s become infamous for the awful behaviour of its users in other instances in the past. They are mainly authoritarian communists (often known as Tankies) who like to yell at people for having different opinions and especially love to troll.
To expand on this for those who weren’t around during the days when they were federated with most instances, Hexbear’s users are needlessly hostile towards anyone who disagrees with them, they had a bug that caused their emotes to become oversized on Lemmy which quickly flooded threads when their users spam them, and they have a reputation for brigading threads to “dunk” on people. They also really like to flood threads with graphic images of pigs shitting on their own testicles, because that’s definitely what normal people do.
It’s worth noting that they don’t federate with other instances to participate in good faith, they do so in order to dunk on people and “dismantle Western propaganda” and “plant the beans of truth in other instances fields” and in general act in bad faith. Worse, their instance admins did little to stop this.
They were defederated from many instances for good reason, as their behaviour drove away a lot of new users. A lot of Hexbear users have alts on lemmy.ml and midwest.social, so the defederation doesn’t stop their users from continuing to be dickheads.
And if you’d like some receipts, I have plenty of examples. Best viewed from an instance that federates with Hexbear, so you can see their behaviour for yourself.

Edit: A tankie already got upset about this post, love to see it! :P
People who don’t like their ideology tend to say that they are a tankie community. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Thx!
