  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.

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

You have a very cool philosophy and I thank you for sharing, but the definition of ignorance is not the same as unaware. To be ignorant generally implies to ignore the reality or truth.

American Heritage Dictionary has this to say about it:

Ignorance:

  • The condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed.

  • The condition of being ignorant; the lack of knowledge in general, or in relation to a particular subject; the state of being uneducated or uninformed.

  • A willful neglect or refusal to acquire knowledge which one may acquire and it is his duty to have.

I'd normally also include something like Oxford Dictionary definition but for some reason they've got a paid subscription model now.

It does list "the condition of being [...] unaware" in the definitions you quoted. I think it's fair to say ignorance can mean being unaware, but ignorance can at times also signify that it is intentional, or that a person is choosing to ignore information.

Though saying "ignorance is the lack of knowledge" stands true, regardless of whether that lack of knowledge is intentional or not.
