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

It does not matter how calm or reasonable the comment is, if it's deemed to be in dissent of the Tankie mindset it's removed and you're banned
For context this next one
might have been(have confirmed with Vitaly) was a comment to https://lemmy.world/post/26045579 (Crossposted version, original that was on .ml memes comm was removed as well so I can't pull up the original to pair the modlog entry to the post like I did for the first 2 screenshots) -
FediLore + Fedidrama @lemmy.ca ShiverMeTimbers @lemm.ee A question for everyone: How would you define a troll (includes final updates on some previous dramas)
I've been interested to ask this after seeing so much happen in this community. How would you define a troll? The modlogs show many communities have rules against "trolling" but what is actually going on that makes it register with people.
I'm making an instance of my own and wanted to know. The last time I was on here, there was a drama about a mod which was based on another drama about the same mod, and this in turn was based on another drama about the same mod, which itself was based on a drama about that mod. That's a revelation with many implications I never see mentioned, that these are all connected (why isn't anyone mentioning this). I know this person, I know it's slander against her. Everyone called her a troll though for defending herself, which a few argue is in the [same](https://lemm.ee/search?q=ht

FediLore + Fedidrama @lemmy.ca Dragon Rider (drag) @lemmy.nz Lemmy users dox a random person for fun
A meme was posted to c/memes@lemmy.world with a partial picture of a driver's licence. The Lemmy users in the comments proceeded to post all the identifying information they could get from the license, including gender, date of birth, and zip code of the person's home. The meme is probably reposted and so this isn't doxxing the Lemmy OP, but that's what the users in the comments seem to think they're doing.
Collecting and disseminating someone's personal information is doxxing even if that information could be found anyway with enough time and knowledge.

FediLore + Fedidrama @lemmy.ca Dragon Rider (drag) @lemmy.nz "I will never suggest Lemmy to people" - 196 users on the Fediverse's harassment of women
https://lemmy.nz/post/18610200/13255360
This user describes how most of the women-centered communities on Lemmy were shut down due to harassment of their members.
Another user adds "We need a safe space, but most of the women I know on here don’t have the time or energy to moderate it. And there’s so few of us, it feels like it’s not worth the effort anyway."

FediLore + Fedidrama @lemmy.ca spujb @lemmy.cafe Mods vs. Community: The 196 Migration Meltdown
This was originally posted as a comment response in !asklemmy@lemmy.world.
Back in December, the instance hosting 196 (lemmy.blahaj.zone) announced that, as part of its mission as a trans-friendly space, harassment based on gender or neopronouns would remain** prohibited—even if the user in question was suspected of being a troll. Users were asked to disengage, block, and report suspected trolling behavior rather than bring harassment into a community already vulnerable to that kind of bullying.
There was a small backlash to the policy from some users. This led to a number of “toe the line” posts that weren’t outright gender-based harassment but strongly signaled an intent to misgender or harass in the future. Blahaj admins promptly removed all offending comments during this wave of dissent.
Important to note: **The majority of the Blahaj and 196 users supported the polic

FediLore + Fedidrama @lemmy.ca Dragon Rider (drag) @lemmy.nz Experiment into the lemmy.world rules about Luigi Mangione and Dutch law
Drag is worried this post may break rule 1 about being involved in drama. But drag was not involved in this issue before drag decided to investigate it and to conduct an experiment to determine the actual situation. Drag would like to publish the results of this "investigative journalism", and doesn't believe this is covered by the intention of rule 1, but drag may be wrong.
Introduction
The issue of censoring discussion about Luigi Mangione and the CEO shooter has been controversial across the whole internet, not just the Fediverse. Reddit banned its Luigi Mangione community. Many people on lemmy.world have raised concerns that Dutch law would prevent people from praising the CEO shooter, as this is "inciting violence". Lemmy.world is run according to Dutch law.
Over several days, drag found a LOT of contradictory information about Dutch law and incitement to violence. Some of the articles quoted from the Dutch Criminal code were non-applicable, non-obvious in their application,

FediLore + Fedidrama @lemmy.ca CraigOhMyEggo @lemmy.ml Do you remember a few days ago when I asked if we could talk about things that happen outside the fediverse?
A few days ago, I asked if we could talk about things that happen outside the fediverse. I got a lot of different answers ranging from "yes" to "no" to "it depends". Hunting someone down somewhere and saying "ah ha I found Zezima on X" isn't the kind of thing I meant. This is.
That moment when an admin outright makes it absolutely clear if you read the room (those who remember past messages will be able to do that) that they're going around trying to get back at people and further complicate things for them, the instance in question being in spiteful response to a promotion. The incentive to weigh in is thus pre-existing, plus I am fediversally relevant because I have been accused of being them (not that I'm the [only one](https://x.com/bananashananana/status/1878

FediLore + Fedidrama @lemmy.ca CraigOhMyEggo @lemmy.ml LockedAre we allowed to bring up events that happened outside the fediverse if they involve fediverse admins in those locations?
Suppose you have a fediverse admin, perhaps one of the several who are oppressive, and they are roaming around somewhere like Twitter or Reddit. One day they spot someone on there they don't like, maybe someone they know from the fediverse or maybe not, and they give the person a hard time. Are we allowed to talk about those activities, especially considering the barrier is already crossed the other way?

FediLore + Fedidrama @lemmy.ca CraigOhMyEggo @lemmy.ml It's the end of the year and I fully advocate defederating my instance at this point
Forgive the vent, but it used to be that the instances were all simply opinionated in different ways. You could talk to anyone from any instance without anyone getting upset so as long as you were respectful. Being in an instance used to be enviable enough to jest about.
Early on, it went from that to "my opinion should not be pushed back against". For a while, you could not go into ML territory, for example, and challenge their status quo. Recently it has reached another new level, where people will obliterate you simply for being neutral, and this was after they began to break their own rules. Individual cities in my home country are beginning to consider banning the fediverse, and that's only because the country itself stopped short of doing it. I thought the fediverse was supposed to make things easier to enjoy. How can we trust we can look up to i
