Rules

Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
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

So I tried these two things out. Turns out they're 100% true. (lemmy.wtf)

Someone on Reddit has been saying someone has been able to report new members without proof and remove their threads by claiming to be the people they've reported. Out of curiosity, I tested this out. Turns out it checks out. For some reason, admins have allowed it to be possible. I found out my threads have been removed this way, so beware if you're banned from somewhere or your threads are removed. This is the same person who thinks she can compete with Fedilore on Tumblr after being banned from Fedilore's instance for signing up for KiwiFarms in order to prevent her friends from being backbitten on there before going on YouTube to complain about it.

As much as I would love to just use Lemmy, it's because you can't ask a malfunctioning website why it's malfunctioning. It's also why admins can be contacted on Matrix. Which would be fine if they double-checked things.

We do make ourselves accessible outside of Lemmy just in case there's a problem (Matrix and email), I don't see a problem with that 🤨

That was just a strawman argument. Nobody objects to E-Mail and Matrix.

~~Mine can?~~

Everyone who registers for Matrix can contact admins.

I misread it as "can't", even after quote replying, my bad.

Edit: but also, that makes sense, no?

~~But is it really better to launch your personal blog on Reddit or Tumblr with an audience of 6 people, who don't really know what they're talking about? I mean go ahead, but I'd pick some lax community or server here. Any of the unwarranted drama posts here get more attention before they get deleted than that stuff.~~

Nevermind.
