Auction you say?
Their instance seems to be back up again. A sad day for us all.
I think it’s hilarious that there is a bidding war that has been driving the bid up.
j_s_0e6b87 is an absolute madlad. They’re wasting their money, in my opinion, but a madlad nonetheless
New update for those of you following this story
We have established contact with the previously-AWOL owner, and after much discussion, we have determined that while there was an error in the auto-payment initially, the renewal funds were transferred manually to Sav and the auction continues despite that. We are currently appealing to Sav support with our domain credentials. We are also looking into whether an ICANN-compliant grace period was implemented prior to the rescinding and auctioning of the domain.
The rest of the Fediverse should put together a GoFundMe to buy the domain, and stick up a page with links to donate drones to Ukrainian soldiers, and care packages to families of Uyghur muslims detained in concentration camps in China.
I’d rather people just fund their instances or the developers
I wonder if the high bids will actually go through or if it’s just trolling. Definitely weird to give such big amounts of money away for a joke outside the space where it’s needed.
Honestly I’d donate. Would love to see them seethe.
Bidding ends in 9 days.
Edit: Current bid is up to
$305$505$676$710$1920$2345$2365
