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

Went up by a thousand in 2 minutes if I'm reading it correctly.

Serious question: if this happened to a popular federated instance (say Lemmy.world) and it got bought by someone malicious, what's the worst they could do to my Lemmy feed and the Lemmy community in general?

Not much. The domain isn't the server. Hexbear will be fine, under another name.

How do other servers identify themselves on ActivityPub other than the domain? Is there some cryptographic key pair?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 19 hours ago

Yes there's a crypto keypair

I bet its just domain. Anything else is too complicated for admins

I am not writing this to shit on them, but I have to appreciate the irony in the situation. Something about a communist community getting messed up by lapses in individual responsibility, or an authoritarian leaning community getting messed up by fuckups in leadership.
