On the meta update, a previous admin was able to get the hexbear.net domain back, and we were able to established shared access. We are thankful for everything that they have done as this site would not exist without them, with this shared access the stress of site administration has been lessened.

    Excellent, really glad that was able to get resolved. We’ve had to deal with domain name issues here too, its an extremely stressful experience that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

    Comment buried the lede:

    We will be enabling federation after redirecting chapo.chat, hexbear.chat, etc. to hexbear.net


    Edit to add: chapo.chat is currently broken, which may confuse users who’d been told not to go to hexbear.net anymore.

    $ curl -I --no-progress-meter https://hexbear.chat/ 2>&1 | head -n1
    curl: (60) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'hexbear.chat'
    $ curl -skI https://hexbear.chat/ | head -n1
    HTTP/2 502 
    $

    The “nothing ever happens” gang stays winning, happy to see federation will resume soon. More Leftists federated is a good thing.
