Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. 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

I'd argue two things:

  1. Religious people are also delusional, just not usually in the same way as the classical disorder.
  2. Furry/Scalie/Otherkin "culture" is not in the scope of the intention of the cultural/religious exception.

Especially considering almost all furries know they're not actually a dog or a wolf or a cat, regardless of how enthusiastic their roleplay gets. When your seriousness is not shared by the majority of your culture I think it should be obvious even to you that the exception would not apply. That is unless you claim a different, even more niche culture.

And I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess your parents aren't "dragonkin" or any otherkin, either. It's not the culture of your hometown or family.

Your otherkin "culture" is no more valid an exception than the joining of a cult.
