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.

It's the lemmy modlog, it shows all federated actions.

You can see the same thing for lemmy.world here:

I did have a look at their modlog for comparison. It seems counterintuitive that an action taken by a mod on another instance would show up in theirs. Wouldn't the act of banning someone inherently federate by the fact their posts would no longer be seen?

I think part of it is transparency. As a mod on lemmy.world, it benefits me to be able to look at the modlog and see a users entire history, not just on lemmy.world.
