Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.


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

Confirmed its real, and now I am blocking that instance. Thanks for the info. There is enough content on lemmy, a few instances can be excluded.

I personally think that's a bit much to block an entire instance over when just one admin is being mildly annoying. Their comment is basically nothing imo lol. Compare that to the OP of this post whose profile picture is a cartoon pony from a children's show having an orgasm.

It's almost like a community made of opinionated nerds loves making fake drama and being whiny bitches in general.

Oh I'll still see those users on different communities, because blocking the instance only stops their threads and communities from showing on my All sorted list

Added a link to the comment in my post. Thanks for reminding me!

All that link does is try to send an email. You have to put a "!" in front of it: !Politics@midwest.social

Is it possible to fedilink directly to specific threads or even comments, or just communities?

Interesting, I guess the maintainer didn't update for 19.5

Yeah it’s definitely real, I came across it in my feed before seeing this post. Guy seems like a real arsehole.
