Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. 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

That's fair and I respect it, we need to have the courage to trust other people and I'm sure people have received much needed aid from that community.

But at the same time we have to recognize when a system is vulnerable to abuse, and consider ways to prevent that abuse from happening, or at least limit it. Sometimes, people aren't going to tell the truth, and sometimes they may not know how to help themselves. It's very hard to recognize those scenarios when your only context is an anonymous username on an internet forum.

In that case, you simply just have to take the risk. A well-off person giving money to another well-off person pretending to be poor isn't as harmful as a well-off person not giving money to a poor person because they think they are a well-off person pretending to be poor.
