Welcome to the Lemmy Drama community!

This is a place to share and enjoy drama across the fediverse. Grab your popcorn, and dive in!

Rules:

1. Don't bring your own drama.

If you are a part of the drama, don't post it here. We're here to enjoy drama, not see it brought to this community.

2. Be civil.

No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. No ongoing drama.

if there’s been a comment in the past 3 days, wait until it’s settled down.

5. No interacting with the drama you find here.

That means no upvotes, no downvotes, and no commenting in the original thread.

6. Keep the drama focused on Lemmy and/or the fediverse only.

If it’s Kbin or Mastodon drama, it must be a quality effort post.

7. Don’t piss on the popcorn.

Inciting brigades is an automatic ban.

8. Mod Perogative

We reserve the right to enforce the rules however we like.

Here's how I see it:

Some person posts criticism of Kagi
CEO of Kagi emails the person saying, I think some of what you said is factually inaccurate and I'd like a chance to talk to you about why
Person angrily refuses to do that
Mod of !techtakes publicly posts screenshots in his sub instead, calls the CEO an unhinged narcissist and his email a "harangue"
People come in the thread and say, actually what the CEO said sounds "totally hinged" and the rude response seems un called for
Mod starts banning people and deleting comments of people who are arguing with him, leaving up his own side of the conversation.

Fediverse/alttech users are some of the most thin-skinned people around. Square that with them being a forum mod and you've got a power trip of near-infinite potential.

I think they’re just done playing with trolls, and are erring on the opposite side now. Which, makes sense if they’ve been through enough on that other site. Especially in a fediverse of near-infinite community options, who cares. Sure, ban away.
