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

I am not writing this to shit on them, but I have to appreciate the irony in the situation. Something about a communist community getting messed up by lapses in individual responsibility, or an authoritarian leaning community getting messed up by fuckups in leadership.

I enjoyed the community. Hope they find a new home.

They went through ban wave after ban wave and even their own internal dev team got burned out on the drama. I can't say I'm surprised by this, but its the inevitable attrition that happens when you eat your own tail for years on end.

The purges were absolutely necessary for hexbear to provide a safe space for marginalized people.

I thought mandatory pronouns were dumb, but I was instantly proven wrong by the number of rabid transphobes who immediately identified themselves.
