I am seeing posts from https://hexbear.net/ once again. Anyone know what happened since they lost their domain name? How did they get it back?

The admins got it back quite a while ago, the last bit of time has been ensuring smooth federation and using it as an opportunity to poll whether refederation was even what everyone wanted, as well as which style of federation (block list vs allow list, or none at all). Things are smoother now!
Did they end up choosing block list or allow list? I hope it was the former. Allowlist will exclude small instances and harm federation diversity.
They went with allow list as it used to be
I believe they went with broader federation, though obviously with the defederated instances remaining blocked.
