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 don't follow the controversy over lemmy.ml but it seems to me that federation isn't about pushing one POV or suppressing another, it's about not using corporate media, right?
Federation is about what content you want to host on your server.
If you made a Lemmy server, say sidekick.lemmy, you'd have to make decisions about which sources of content to federate with. For example, if the Lemmy instance I just made up for this hypothetical called loli.network were posting child porn, then you'd have to make a decision whether to have child porn on your instance, manually remove all of it, or just defederate loli.network. Now imagine there's an instance called aryan.nation. Do you want swastikas and heil hitlers to be visible on your frontpage?
Ada promised her users that transphobia wouldn't be visible from lemmy.blahaj.zone. That's the issue.
No, federation is about content sharing. Choosing which content you want to share is a feature of lemmy software specifically.
Yes. Supporting genocidal regimes and fascists that have been plaguing society for the better part of the century are ok UNTIL they become transphobic.
Pathetic self interested selfish instance. Now I don't think we should be defederating for any reason other than illegal content, so I agree with this move, however I disagree with the reasoning.
Blahaj.zone and its mods have been the king of bad ideas and accelerating echo chambers, so I'm not surprised. In fact this is probably one good thing they've done until they say doors are transphobic or something and ban people who don't remove doors off their houses.

Blahaj making a decision that likely ends up harming trans people? Wow, how unlike them, that's so surprising 😮
