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

Will it be effective?

Spoiler

No, it was not very effective.

EDIT: The banning event continues. Please consult the modlog to observe.

If you scroll down to about a day ago, you might be able to observe an emerging behavior from this mod.

EDIT 2: The mod in question moderates a total of 108 Lemmy communities. How deep does this conspiracy run? Is this mod a lost Redditor? More to come!

EDIT 3: The mod has now removed my comment all together, one might assume because it was still receiving upvotes in the 2 hours following my ban. Are there similarities here to Watergate? You be the judge!

EDIT 4: The mod in question has now been removed as a mod of the !vegan@lemmy.world community, as a result of their abuse of power.

This was their response:

EDIT 5: This will be my final update, since as far as I see it, the issue this thread focuses on has been resolved. To quote Beaver herself in a very ironic comment she made directed towards someone else:

Clearly this was all just a case of...

And what about those commenting on good faith?

And what's the problem with voting on public posts on a public forum?

I'd love to see vegan content, not ... whatever meme shitshow that community has become.

We can always ask for better.

Do you have examples? That modlog is a bit busy as you know, I'm not going to go through it

And what’s the problem with voting on public posts on a public forum?

What's the problem with banning on a public forum?

There was a post yesterday about vote manipulation by bots (https://feddit.org/post/2795018 ), if people just downvote the vegan content without contributing, it's not that far from that.

Or maybe it just comes from them seeing downvotes as "non relevant to the community" and not "disagree", hence getting rid of people who use it the other way.

I'm really not sure to get why it's such a big deal. You got banned from a small community on Lemmy.

Were you going to participate to this type of community? Then create another one and post there, if yours is better moderated, people will come to yours (my experience in the past on a different topic)
Were you not going to engage with that type of content? Then move on. I'm not interested in US politics, if all the US politics communities would ban me that would be fine, I would just move on.

I'm not doing your homework for you.

Participating in a conversation ain't homework. And if you don't want to have a conversation, don't bother replying.
