Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

And this is the Hexbear reply thread. Please be very wary of the extremism and bigotry and know that they are largely defederated

Same - and also Lemmygrad.ml, both of which I replied to someone and then had to endure WEEKS and WEEKS (each) of replies of a ridiculous nature. Like who would send someone tens and tens and tens of replies, WEEKS later, who is acting in good faith? Obviously that is a "dunking", done for their emotional benefit, rather than an attempt to actually change my mind. Well they did manage to change my mind though... about them.:-)

And that started me thinking that if Lemmy was going to be just exactly like Reddit, then I wanted no part of it... and I too came within a hairsbreadth of quitting it, before I realized that I could just block the worst of it and then the rest of the content here is actually pretty great.

So now I don't blame new people who don't know that - how would/could they? If we allow each new person to be hazed like that as they enter, then we have no basis for complaining later on when nobody wants to come back.
