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

When did the lemmygrad defederation happen?

Chris Remington mod

A couple of days ago. alyaza

about aug 10, mostly motivated by their lack of moderation/lack of compatibility with our values but also because we’re trying to figure out why our server is using so much more space than it should be (because if we don’t figure it out soon our hosting costs will need to double). one of the presumptions is who we federate with has something to do with it and lemmygrad was the biggest place we federated with, but we don’t really have overlap with their userbase so it doesn’t make very much sense to assume any additional load they might be adding.

Just because it’s contrary to American propaganda doesn’t make it Russian/Chinese propaganda.

The thing about tankies is that they idolise China and the USSR explicitly. That’s what earned the term tankies. They like to call their selves communists/leftists, but it’s a blatantly right wing authoritarian ideology.

Meh, I'm very anti-american propaganda and there definitely is propaganda there

The origin of the label ‘Tankies’ is from British communists supporting the USSR’s party line and specifically to defend the use of tanks to suppress dissent in the Hungarian revolution of 1956.

It’s a self-applied label and it’s in fact very explicitly and by definition Pro-Russian propaganda and more recently Pro-Chinese as well.

On lemmygrad I’ve just seen socialists mostly, idk how many there self-label as tankie. It just feels like something derogatory people say about those to the left of them.
