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

Will it be effective?

EDIT: The banning event continues. Please consult the modlog to observe.

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&modId=7121342

If you scroll down to about a day ago, you might be able to observe an emerging behavior from this mod.

EDIT 2: The mod in question moderates a total of 108 Lemmy communities. How deep does this conspiracy run? Is this mod a lost Redditor? More to come!

EDIT 3: The mod has now removed my comment all together, one might assume because it was still receiving upvotes in the 2 hours following my ban. Are there similarities here to Watergate? You be the judge!

The modlog should at least contain an identifier of the mod. Maybe not a link to their account but something that can be tracked across communities. To see who is abusing their power.

Thunder shows the mod for each modlog action.

The info is there. You can tell who it is by using the filters (e.g. logs on me modded beaver: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&modId=7121342&userId=36)

It’s a pain in the ass but it works.

I'm pretty it's Beaver. I'm now banned (and I appear to be blocked by Beaver as well) and I'm pretty sure the only recent direct interaction I've had with the community was downvoting the recent articles about how vegan diets are okay for carnivorous pets.

They went batshit with the meme posting last night and the threads were mostly shitting on them. They are full tilt.

Yup just checked, banned.

Modlog does contain the info, it's just not displayed on the website. You can get the full data from lemmy API

Nice.. thanks. I had indeed just checked the website. I think it should then just be on the website. Especially if they are exposing votes then open this up too.

Yeah it's weird it just says 'mod' or 'admin' instead of the username

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's because people abused mods who banned them and such. I kinda get it.

Transparency for thee....
