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'm the super paranoid guy about all of this stuff and this exact same thing occurred to me

Why are there a few different changes to sub and site policy connected with the concept of "misinformation", but somehow skirting around the type of misinformation which is seems is the most pressing issue by far? I.e. accounts which are devoted to posting misinformation?

Honestly I thought the vegan cat food thing was handled semi ok. But surely that's not the more pressing thing, to justify big team meetings and huge changes to policy and writing misinformation stuff into the legal side and user agreement.

Right?

You're spot on, I think. There are several accounts entirely devoted to pushing agendas in bad faith that go unbanned, yet this?

What sort of stuff are they pushing?

The usual Lyndon Larouche stuff that was co-opted by Russian state propagandists that appeals to people smart enough to see the problems but not actually be well read into what's been happening.

Seemed an important changes to me as well, but I guess they had the MBFC bot thing happening at the same time and wanted to hit two birds with one stone? Not sure to be honest
