Hexbear admins decided pretty much right away not to engage in the auction. The bidding war is probably between someone with too much money and hate for hexbear, and an agent of the auctioneer driving up the price.

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
Update: it’s now US$1921.00. Some PP (p_p_822628) is trying to outbid JS (j_s_0e6b87), who has been competing since the start.
there’s no way these aren’t troll bids.
I’m guessing one of them is a hexbear admin and the other is a troll.

The admins have stated that they don’t care about the domain, so it’s probably either a troll or the crypto coin people trying to gain the domain.
I’m out of the loop, crypto coin people? Is there a hexbear crypto or something?
Yep, though obviously unaffiliated. It’s why Hexbear is blocked in China IIRC.
