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

Will it be effective?

Spoiler

No, it was not very effective.

EDIT: The banning event continues. Please consult the modlog to observe.

If you scroll down to about a day ago, you might be able to observe an emerging behavior from this mod.

EDIT 2: The mod in question moderates a total of 108 Lemmy communities. How deep does this conspiracy run? Is this mod a lost Redditor? More to come!

EDIT 3: The mod has now removed my comment all together, one might assume because it was still receiving upvotes in the 2 hours following my ban. Are there similarities here to Watergate? You be the judge!

EDIT 4: The mod in question has now been removed as a mod of the [email protected] community, as a result of their abuse of power.

This was their response:

EDIT 5: This will be my final update, since as far as I see it, the issue this thread focuses on has been resolved. To quote Beaver herself in a very ironic comment she made directed towards someone else:

It's an echo bunker. Banning anyone who doesn't whole throatedly support their beliefs is a feature of the community, not a bug. I am banned.

Ah, this explains it! Saw I was banned from a community that I’d never posted in and evidently one of the mods is a wanker. Mystery solved :)

It's funny how many trolls and crazy people are attracted to positions of power, I suspect it's compensation. That last message says it all. Their user seems to have been nuked, at least in their home instance. Ironic they had to remove the same mod they not only criticized but also continued criticized in their remove mod post unironically. Does this mean they will move back to lemmy.world? Didn't they move out to lemmy.ml?

Ahhh no wonder I didn’t see this. I already had Beaver blocked.

Oh man, I am so happy I blocked that community months ago because I just have no interest in it or their diet.

I'm not vegan, but honestly I can understand. As soon as you have an opinion which is not the one of the majority, your posts, even in thematic spaces, are heavily downvoted, and it's tiring. I'm not conservative, I disagree with the posts in c/conservative, buy why would I downvote the things they publish there? A lot of Lemmy members do, however. Same with c/vegan or the religious communities.
