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 kind of okay with this. It was a reasonable take -- not a hot take or an incendiary comment or something. Mods using their power to shut down discussion -- expected on that instance I guess ;)
This is my first time getting any sort of ban on any lemmy instance. Now I just need to get banned on a right-wing server for some other centrist take, to keep balance in the universe ;)
How many of you have experienced this on lemmy.ml?
Defederation should be the first solution to problems with other instances. If they want to be overzealous and heavy handed with moderation on their site then they will lose users who want more fair and effective moderation. But if you defedate with them, then their users just get stuck on these echo chamber communities.
Defederation should be a last resort to deal with poor moderation of abusive content, not moderation that we don't agree with.
Ironic, then, that you picked an instance that picks Defederation as it's first approach to problem solving.
Not that you can see this, as I'm posting from one of the instances harmed by reckless defederation.
I was never once contacted or given any chance to address whatever issue they had.
I agree with your assessment on their political views. I also don't mod any communities on Lemmy or run my own instance so I don't have to worry about trying to deal with moderating the harmful political views of admin and mods with their other users' contributions to the network. I am just stating my opinion of not throwing the baby out with the bath water by going with the nuclear option that is defederation.
I believe you accidentally said should instead of shouldn't in the first sentence
Thanks for the correction, really changes my whole point. I'm glad you caught it
