    nah they could, theyd just change it to their ip address, like the domain vendor deleted their ip address from the records when they didn’t pay

      That’s not how the Fediverse works. Instances are per domain, not per IP address. You can change IPs however often you want, as long as your domain points to the right server.

          That doesn’t matter to fediverse software. Any new instance on hexbear.net would have errors when trying to federate with other instances, and it probably wouldn’t be able to do so at all. But even if it did manage it, what are you expecting to do to mitigate the errors that arise from other instances referencing users/threads/posts/comments/communities/modlogs that existed on the old instance, but do not exist on the new one?

            referencing users/threads/posts/comments/communities/modlogs that existed on the old instance, but do not exist on the new one

            Yeah, that’s what I was talking about. It would be a different instance that doesn’t have the same database as the original one.
