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

This unfolded on "United States | News & Politics@midwest.social". Owner 'seahorse' showing the kind of person they are.
This is not how you run a server.
Edit: link to comment:
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?
You need something like https://lemmyverse.link/

The server returned a "500 Internal Server Error".
Great. lol
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.
So server admins are how we get the Reddit mod experience
Sorry to hear, I love the Lotr memes community
Never too late to make your own. Especially if enough people decide this is worth blocking the instance entirely.
Thank god we’re doing things on more than world
Yep, that's mainly why I hopped to it so fast.
Tell me about it
Indeed, but I have enough communities under my belt to be honest 😅
Fair enough. The Onion community had pretty little traffic to begin with so I think I'll be fine.
yeah i have my problems with midwest. i think a succinct way to put it is that instance does not appreciate the federation process.
"Can't even downvote in Ohio"
For those who don't know what this means, but want to, you can read https://www.distractify.com/p/what-does-ohio-mean-slang and https://www.distractify.com/p/only-in-ohio-tiktok-meme.
TLDR it's a phrase that people use now similar to "Florida man".
I've never blocked an instance.
If I block an instance, that blocks all users too, right?
Nope
What does "spits their dummy out" man in this context? Is it just "says dumb shit"?
It's like a baby throwing a little tantrum, essentially.
..so was this about his take on the Gaza war? That he thought support for Palestine would lead to a loss of democracy?
No they’re saying that’s what people criticizing the protestors are arguing. I think their take is perfectly acceptable but the power tripping is pretty rough
Yeah, I'd have to look into the context but their edit kinda sours it no matter what.
Yeah, exactly. He's saying that if you vote for Kamala in order to end the genocide in Gaza and prevent Trump from bombing the West Bank, then you're letting the fascists win and democracy is dead. He thinks we should all be apathetic towards Palestine and do nothing as a show of "symbolic" support for Gazans.
So how do i block an instance?
Settings, last tab iirc
