Hexbear’s domain has expired and the admins can’t get ahold of the original registar. Currently up for auction at 20 bids and $550.

Edit: Their new domain is chapo.chat. Probably should let admins know so they can defederate them again.

      If I remember correctly from a prior discussion, as-implemented, the two do not work the same way. User blocking blocks communities on an instance, but not users with it as their home instance, whereas defederation blocks both.

      That being said, I haven’t blocked instances myself, so I can’t personally confirm.
