FediLore + Fedidrama

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

poking fun at its cultish, toxic community.

I don't feel like I'm in a cult.

But then again...that's just what someone in a cult would say...

Oh..God...NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

/s (obviously)

  • Dude sets up community, is sole moderator
  • Dude sets up autoban bot
  • Sole moderator makes a post
  • Autoban bot deletes the post and bans the sole moderator

Sounds like a typical Microsoft experience.

Isn't that the one who thought they were being brigaded when people kept downvoting their posts?

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Was there anything wrong with c/linuxsucks@lemmy.world ? Maybe madthumbs has other grief with lemmy.world, I'm not sure.

The moderation not so much the content was what was wrong with it.

Linux needs criticism and you hear the voices of the less tech savvy if it wants to grow its user base and gain wider adoption, similar to lemmy. But if that while discussion is a bad faith Linux is bad and you can't change my mind with enforcement via moderation then it's not useful to anyone really.

It's a meme community, calm down

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 1 points 45 minutes ago

Memes are important man. People have written PhD dissertations in this shit.

The moderation of the community or the instance? Madthumbs is also the mod at linuxsucks@lemmy.world

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 2 points 2 hours ago

In This specific example, the issue was purely with the community and sole moderator.

Yes, saw that the other day as well, reminded me of the "flat earth discussion" policy initiated by LW and then cancelled due to the backlash, that was quite something

[–] guynamedzero@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Must be out of the loop, what’s LW?

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that makes sense

[–] kabi@lemm.ee 8 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Not sure why that post got removed specifically. I think it was just run of the mill linuxsucksposting.

[–] kbal@fedia.io 4 points 4 hours ago

It says "automod." Maybe there's a setting where things get deleted and users banned if they instantly get 10000 downvotes.

[–] nesc@lemmy.cafe 10 points 6 hours ago

Heavy handed moderation as audience likes it.

[–] RoyaltyInTraining@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I hope they can establish themselves somewhere, I wanna have a good laugh at their opinions every now and then.
