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

Exactly. Some details will be always missing; but a good person is supposed at least looks for them, instead of actively trying to shove them under the rug so they reach some dichotomic "us vs. them" view of the world.
I do agree .ml is way worse when it comes to transparency; for example, they see no problem on labelling criticism against the Russian government as "bigotry". It's still far from ideal in .world's case; for example, when the topic is Palestine.
And people might say "well, those are local mods, not the admin team", but IMO the admin team should be partially responsible for what mods do.
No worries - I get it. I didn't tell you my whole political instance either, for the same reason - if I were to say everything I think about politics in Lemmy, I'd get the federal cops giving me a visit.
At the end of the day, people either feel welcomed here or they do not. Admiral Patrick did not, and now he's gone. My reply up above was downvoted, so I guess I should not feel welcomed either? Perhaps I should only speak what the group-think wants to hear, and then I could be accepted and loved? :-P I am being facetious obviously (proof: see tongue faced emoji:-D), but underneath that I am also serious: however it happens, we really do need to create / allow spaces for people to discourse on matters, or else it will not happen. Which is why it is not happening, which is why Lemmy is becoming the way that it is. Lemmy is not "dying" - b/c new people are continuing to come here from Reddit - but the ideals that certain people (such as Admiral Patrick) had are dying, the hopes and dreams of what Lemmy could become.
Piefed is what AdmPat thought Lemmy could become, and it's getting better every day
Yes I have lost most hopes for Lemmy, and am going all in on PieFed instead for exactly that reason:-). Though people will actually have to make use of those tools for them to work, so it will take some time to learn I am sure.
