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

What happened to Vegantheoryclub? (lemm.ee)

Not a fan of it by any means, but it shit down ~11 days ago and no one mentioned it.

Every link to something on the instance redirects to this: https://imgur.com/XpxDJTg

Since lemmy posts are links, every image post is now that image.

The admin (local account on lemm.ee https://lemm.ee/u/[email protected] ) said it was because of the harassment culture on lemmy (https://lemm.ee/post/64686772 ), and blamed sunshine and beaver for doing something? (https://lemm.ee/post/63664605/20610349 -- the post this is in reply to is gone, but the comment is in the local copy of the person's profile.)

Anyone know what happened?

I don't blame them, lemmy drama is shockingly toxic as hell. I don't blame them removing the instance and retiring as admin.

Lemmy as a whole feels very toxic, i don't blame him at all and wish him the best.

I am starting to question the rationale behind admins banning people for being on toxic websites when people can say the same thing about the fediverse itself (take Leni for instance).

It can be tiring at times, but it's unavoidable with a federated model.

Its unavoidable on centralised platforms too.

Oh, indeed. Ironically, it's much less visible because it's silenced by the admins.

You can say that again.
