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

Careful not to mythologize the characters of people who have just hurt others.
With 100+ comments already this is probably a message delivered too late, but if you are reading this be aware that comments here that digress away from simply keeping history into ogling and ridiculing serve only to feed the needs of a user who already has alt accounts drifting in as we speak.
I'm really amazed how they don't try very hard to conceal their alts as alts. Change what they refer to themselves as in the third person, and everything else is exactly the same. Low effort.
Drag can't control how drag's friends talk. If drag were writing their posts for them, drag would be a lot more careful. Unfortunately, drag doesn't use disguised alts, and drag's friends write their own comments themselves. And drag is friends with other queer neurodivergent people who have personalities and values similar to drag's.
If that is actually true, then I apologise for the assumption.
If you want to get to know someone, the best way is to treat them like a person. And drag would think getting to know somebody is the best way to find out who they are; drag, or someone else. Drag doesn't think anybody has actually tried to find the truth.
Lemmy is supicious that drag's friends don't use Lemmy very often, and mostly just comment whenever drag is upset. Would you want to use Lemmy if your main experience with it was your friend crying because someone misgendered them? When you think of drag's friends as people, their actions make a lot more sense.
I'm sorry Drag. I have seen enough of the person you show to the community not to want to get to know you. If you're hurt that's fine, and you have a right to express that. That right doesn't extend to telling people to commit suicide. I have no interest in getting to know you further, or the friends/alts (whichever, I'm not currently arguing that point) who support you after having done so repeatedly. A real friend would call someone out for that behavior.
Regardless, I'm not interested in further interaction between us. Enjoy your day.
Suicide?
