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.
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.
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.
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.
“During this downtime we would be reestablishing access to the new domain (or hexbear.net if we win the auction), access to server ownership, and donation accounts.”
That’s from the We Fucked Up thread on Chapo.chat
so they seem to have had at least some intention of bidding, but that was when it was under 1k.

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.
Wtf kind of fedilore did I miss 😀

It’s a complete nothingburger.
They literally threatened my life, you’re ignorant or paid.
Maybe you shouldn’t have been a counter revolutionary chud?

No it doesn’t. It could be Ted Danson. And I assume Ted Danson doesn’t even know about the fediverse.
It couldn’t be Ted Danson, surely?
Ngl. I was tempted to drop up to $1K on them just to fucking take it out of their hands.
I don’t exactly like Hexbear, but I got to agree with one of its users that this sort of money is better spent on charity. Such as helping a child to get a prosthetic leg and medical attention.
It’s 2025, $710 is pocket change for anyone who can still afford to eat.
I bet j_s_0e6b87 has eggs at every meal
That’s seriously out of touch, check your privilege.

I went and read the hexbear thread on this. Here’s some summary from over there:
I have no idea where you are getting the intention to bid when the admins have repeatedly stated the opposite.
“During this downtime we would be reestablishing access to the new domain (or hexbear.net if we win the auction), access to server ownership, and donation accounts.”
That’s from the We Fucked Up thread on Chapo.chat

No one on hexbear is wasting money on the domain. The consensus is that the money is much better spent on mutual aid.
