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

Customizing appearance, the apparent racist origin of the term is no longer relevant as very few would even know it and even fewer would use it in a racist context
I'm not about to start screaming that xyz is racist, but I would argue that just because very few would know or recognize that something has racist origins that doesn't (in my opinion) make it okay to use. I would hope that people could come up with another term to use that conveys the same message.
I would rather words evolve and lose connotations
Ah, so it's okay to be obtusely racist in ways the go under the radar. Like dog whistles and complaining about being "gypped".
The point being that the connection is no longer there
Like saying slave, there are no connections to slav anymore
As a slav: Still salty. But hey, it's been only a thousand years or so.
