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.
We absolutely definitely did:-)
You’re awesome
Ok thanks. Yeah you’re definitely defederated, you can see hexbear on the blocked instances tab.
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.
