Embassy of Hexbear on Lemmygrad

Hello users of hexbear and friends by now you will have noticed that the megathreads are featured again. During the recent challenges we wanted to see what the site is like with no pinned megathreads, a pinned megathread portal, in the style of this https://chapo.chat/post/4470784 and finally we are back to status quo.

Please give your thoughts on the megathread experiment in comments, if you liked on way over another, etc.

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.

In addition to the domain registrar we have been able to establish shared access for the server provider and are working on shared access to donation accounts (patreon/liberapay)

Payment has been reestablished from the donation account for the domain and servers, and we will be working towards making a financial transparency report that lays out how much donations we receive, what our costs are and what our current funds are. We are good for the rest of the year on domain/server payments.

I know this is a really confusing, but we are establishing a bitwarden to ensure that all the admins have access to the vital accounts going forward.

Please comment any questions, and we will do our best to answer, apologies to the person who commented on the previous post that we should do the megathread experiment when we are not undergoing a site crisis, which is valid.

TLDR: hexbear.net is back and patriots are in control and we will be enabling federation after redirecting chapo.chat, hexbear.chat, etc. to hexbear.net
