Just wanted to get this thought out there. Space on the internet is infinite, and changing to a new domain is easy and cheap. Let the people who have poisoned their brains with anti tankie rhetoric pay the DNS landlord hundreds of dollars for the privilege of setting up a redirect to NATO’s website or whatever, our money and effort is better spent on literally anything else.
I asked this in the big thread, but how will I find the the new site if we lose this domain? How do we communicate if we can’t get into this domain? I don’t really know how the Internet works lol
i had a thought for a while that there should’ve been some effort to create a hexbear matrix hub of sorts to help preserve the community in case of something unexpected happening to the site. that should probably still happen but i wouldn’t be surprised if we already lost some users.
catch me in the nato.com forums i guess
Worst case scenario if the site suddenly goes down 10 minutes from now with no warning, I’d check lemmygrad.ml. Lots of users here have accounts there so if Hexbear suddenly disappeared I’m sure info on where to go will be there
Well it seems that chapo.chat won’t be lost for a few months yet, so if we end up moving the admins will communicate that in a stickied thread. When we moved to hexbear.net both domains were used for a while to ease the transition before one got turned into a redirect.
I guess one upside of federation is we can go to the other instances and find crossover users there
