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

This unfolded on "United States | News & [email protected]". Owner 'seahorse' showing the kind of person they are.

This is not how you run a server.

But it is.

Lemmy isn't set up to create a set of fairly moderated communities with buy-in from users. It is set up so anyone can be a dictator on their own server.

Users can still quickly leave until they found a fair admin

Yup. But thankfully, it's also set up so they can quickly become dictators of their own little desert island.

So how do i block an instance?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Settings, last tab iirc

Sorry to hear, I love the Lotr memes community

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Never to late to make your own. Especially if enough people decide this is worth blocking the instance entirely.

Indeed, but I have enough communities under my belt to be honest 😅

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Fair enough. The Onion community had pretty little traffic to begin with so I think I'll be fine.

yeah i have my problems with midwest. i think a succinct way to put it is that instance does not appreciate the federation process.

..so was this about his take on the Gaza war? That he thought support for Palestine would lead to a loss of democracy?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No they’re saying that’s what people criticizing the protestors are arguing. I think their take is perfectly acceptable but the power tripping is pretty rough

Confirmed its real, and now I am blocking that instance. Thanks for the info. There is enough content on lemmy, a few instances can be excluded.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Added a link to the comment in my post. Thanks for reminding me!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

All that link does is try to send an email. You have to put a "!" in front of it: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is it possible to fedilink directly to specific threads or even comments, or just communities?

Had my personal encounter with that guy as well, complete powertripping asshole. Reminds me of u/awkwardturtle or a discord mod.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (11 children)

Yep, he is a power-tripping person.
