Rules

Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

As @Sunshine@lemmy.ca mentioned it's now at $505.

What's up with j_s_0e6b87? (Let's call them JS). If they really want the address that's the wrong way to go - bidding too high, too early, too often, and in a bidding war against everyone else. A better approach is to wait until the last hours and then try to snip it.

Unless their goal is to raise the prices this way?

EDIT: currently $676. JS is in a bid war with TB (t_b_2a08d7), a newcomer. 🍿

JS has bid 26 times now without missing a beat. It's up to $2,345. That's insane.. and with 8 days left! Like bruhh what?? I refuse to believe they genuinely want to purchase it vs just driving up the price.

It's a popcorn fest for everyone! Including Hexbear users, they clearly don't give a fuck about the address itself.

My guesses are, in order:

Same as you, they're just driving up the price. They'll stop bidding near the end.
They genuinely want the address because they have some really bad bone to pick against HB, and they have more than enough money to waste on it.
Some really clueless HB user wants the address, even if their own admins said to not bother.

Same, it's going to be an intense 9 days from now on. The finale is a great mystery as to how will everything turn out. What will be the final price? Will people cancel their bids? What will be shown on the new site? Who's the one bidding? Who will win? And all the drama and arguing in the meantime too. Lemmy's going to be busy.
