Not sure what will happen, but seems to be a Fediverselore event for sure

Auction you say?
I think it’s hilarious that there is a bidding war that has been driving the bid up.
Stop giving them attention. That’s the only thing they care about. If a tankie wants to have a ‘debate’ with you just say ‘ok’ and move on.
They have no power or any effect on anything. By making them seem bigger than they really are (some niche leftist nutjobs) you only attract new cultists looking to sate their moral superiority kink.
yep this is a downside to being on a federated server run by some rando.
It’s up to $1921 now lol
Hope the new boss isn’t the same as the old boss.
I am not writing this to shit on them, but I have to appreciate the irony in the situation. Something about a communist community getting messed up by lapses in individual responsibility, or an authoritarian leaning community getting messed up by fuckups in leadership.
It should probably go to furry coders.
Serious question: if this happened to a popular federated instance (say Lemmy.world) and it got bought by someone malicious, what’s the worst they could do to my Lemmy feed and the Lemmy community in general?
It got bid up to $700 😂
edit: 2300 and growing. Hilarious
I enjoyed the community. Hope they find a new home.
My 3 favorite proposed alternative urls are tank.ie hexbearmoretankie.net and infinity.ai
Lol
Oh wow, this post reminded me to renew some domains I use.
