FediLore + Fedidrama
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

Sadly i think this is an incident of the bomber and victim of abuse not being able to see reality beyond his experience of it.
He likely suffered at the hands of his father and/or mother and saw their ages/who they were when they had him and projected that out into the world that people shouldn't be having children.
If you have kids, what they see at home, unless they grow and meditate alot is what they will believe is normal in the world.
This is common friggin sense, but apparently not behavior, but people gotta be good to their kids. Yikes.

And CLM?
People on this thread are quick to blame "society" for his actions, which is fair. But I'd like to point out that social media is a huge part of society in the modern world.
Lemmy has a pattern of edgy people advocating for violence against their political and ideological opponents. That culture can radicalize people, and push already radicalized people over the edge, and when that happens it usually looks less like Luigi and more like this.
You just gotta ask yourself if this is behavior you want to encourage, deliberately or no.
Yeah, Lemmy is a bit wack. I've seen antinatalists on here. Gross.
Expect more as the stressors in society increase
This is the result of people feeling hopeless in a dying world
Instead of fixing the domestic abuse, economy, and environmental issues that led to this we will increase spending on our police state to kill anyone who dissents.
We can clutch pearls all day about how horrible this 25 year old is, but we would be doing the same in his situation because the things he experienced lead people there.
Expect these kinds of things to happen more
No, no I don't think I would. So he had a strained relationship with his father and his mother remarried? Did i miss anything? Because there are tens of millions of people in America alone that undergo those conditions and the vast majority of them don't bomb clinics and kill themselves.
So this guy is 25, and his dad is 75. Hm.
Hasn’t talked to his dad in a decade. Dad did stalk him out on Instagram to cyber bully him about 4 years ago, though. Hmm.
Mom’s age isn’t listed here, but she’s 63. 12 years younger. Honestly was expecting a larger age gap. Same last name as Sophie. Hmmm.
The father: Despite my past history of both alleged and documented abuse, restraining orders, estranged family, and seemingly multiple people in my orbit that have expressed a hatred for living, I want you all to know I consider myself to be a loving father and a good person.
The article allows the dad to speak in his own defense, then ever so casually sprinkles in bits of evidence that dad was a shitbag that likely led to his instability. It's art.
His son, he said, ended up graduating with honors from Yucca Valley High School. Richard Bartkus did not attend the graduation.
Yo I get what you're going for but I think the age of the father and age gap between the parents aren't nearly the same red flags as the other stuff
Yeah, certainly. Age gaps are one of the things I keep an eye out for, so when an article doesn’t mention one partner’s age, I mentally flag it.
Included it in my comment because the linked article didn’t reference it, and if I pick out that sort of thing, surely someone else would, too. Maybe I saved someone a search?
The weirder part was that Sophie - who the article doesn’t provide a last name for - has the same last name as his mother. Lumped ‘em together because I didn’t have a good fit for a ‘third option’ in the flow of the comment.
Because - you know - if I’m going to speculate wildly about strangers on the internet, I’ve got to do it with a bit of panache, and that means I gotta follow the rule of three’s.
