Relevant to note that every other bid comes from the same bidder, j_s_0e6b87. Here’s what I’m guessing about them:
They likely know about Hexbear, since they were bidding on the address right off the bat.
They aren’t a domain squatter. A domain squatter would try to minimise the amount of money spent on a domain; and yet they’re bidding too early, too frequently, and values considerably higher than the necessary to be the top bidder.
They aren’t using automated tools, since the the times and values between the others’ bids and theirs are too erratic.
Either they don’t plan to actually win the bid, OR they have lots of money (to the point that US$710 is pocket change for them) and really, really bad blood against Hexbear.

It narrows it down to people from instances that still federated with Hexbear and have money to spend on this stupid shit.
Nah, there are plenty of people on unfederated instances who still obsess endlessly about hexbear.
