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

DBZer0 has begun banning people simply for believing in the concept of copyright (archive.ph)

Advocating piracy is one thing, but now banning people for believing in copyright? That's like banning people for following the law. That is banning people for following the law. What gives? And to think a while ago I declared I wouldn't have any reason to not take their bans (or the motives behind them) seriously.

Are we trying to get world governments to ban Lemmy (or, worse, the fediverse)? Love the administrative decisions or hate them, such decisions will drag down the whole fediverse. Typically sites are defederated to protect the sites defederating them from liability. Will this be an example, or does this, out of convenience, not apply? Are we forgetting a large portion of the fediverse's demographics consist of artists trying to make a damn living?

No, the law can take down dbzer0 and you are pretending to give a shit about that when you’re just upset that you can’t wipe your dirty shoes on their couch aka not follow their rules. They don’t want to debate copyright with you. Get over it

Edit: Now that I think about it I’m starting to wonder if you understand how the fediverse works. There is no “fediverse” to shut down. The fediverse is just a word to describe sites federated with each other built on activity pub. They can’t ban that.

I haven't used their platform for the very reason that I wouldn't follow their rule.

There is no “fediverse” to shut down.

Unless you're the government. The government has power over the internet providers.

You do not understand how this works. You may as well say that they will take down any website that uses python. Activitypub is a protocol. There is nothing remotely illegal about it. This is as inane as saying “if you post illegal stuff on Facebook they will ban social media.” That’s just not how things work. You do not understand the technical underpinnings of “the fediverse,” You do not understand that there is no central organization or concept. You do not get what you are participating in.
