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's the story with their modlog (dubvee.org)

I'm trying to work out why there are posts in here about users being banned from communities, when neither the user or the community are under their control. Is this being mirrored from somewhere, or is this something that's limited to what people on their instance see?

They are also, apparently, banning users that have never been to their instance.

That's federation. You're on lem.ee, still you don't want all the spam and deleted content to show up when you visit the news community on lemmy.world. That community has some mods and they keep the community clean. And not just for their instance. It needs to spread throughout the network. So naturally every mod action shows up on lem.ee dubvee and everywhere after the originating instance forwards the action to them. Or you'd have a vastly different view on the same community, depending on viewpoint.

I get that, but can't those actions federate without showing up in the modlog for everyone? Or have the option to only see actions from that instance in the log?

Mostly, I feel it adds clutter to the log, and is only tangentially related to the instance.

It's good that we can see it, but I feel it would be better if we could filter it out.

Because a moderator action taken by a mod of a community on a different instance to you, against a user from another instance again, isn't likely to be of any concern to you. It's good that we can access that information, but I would like to be able to filter the modlog to only show local actions, and perhaps the option of a global log.

Otherwise, there's just too much noise.

It shows up per default because it affects you. If you like a filter, feel free to file a feature-request on Lemmy's Github.

Make sure to include a proper description of what you'd like and why. Otherwise I doubt it'll get accepted as it makes the modlog a bit counterintuitive to use. Things that affect you everywhere won't show up just because of their place of origin. That might be unwanted on a federated platform. But feel free to disagree, just include your argumentation and let the developers decide.
