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 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

Should Lemmy.world apply the same standards as they are hosted at Hetzner?
I am too much of an anarchist to care about laws, but I believe any instance should moderate against hatred and strive for a healthy environment where constructive discourse is encouraged and unconstructive/toxic discourse is mitigated. That counts for racism, homophobia, and also for antisemitism or dehumanization of Palestinians.
Now, there are difficult questions about moderation that I am glad I don't have to answer. But I can confidently say that the language that quokk.au admin used has no place in a healthy online community and it is fair it's banned from it.
Doesn't really answer my question.
If there is a legal obligation in Germany to have a policy similar to what feddit.org has, Lemmy.world and other instances using Hetzner should implement it.
If not, then they shouldn't, and then feddit.org shouldn't use the legal argument.
Now it's kind of an ambiguous situation where it's not clear what the legal obligation actually is.
legally speaking, probably both must follow german law. But I'm not a lawyer. I can imagine lemmy.world admins don't worry as much because they are not from germany, only their servers.
Also I think lemmy.world moderates against holocaust inversion. I have reported comments for that on both instances and comments on lemmy.world were actually more likely to get removed (tbf they were also much more notorious there)
