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

Where did I post anything angry?
It's just the vibe you gave off in the comments.
I understand your concern about copyright laws and the ethics of copy-pasting a paywalled article, but this was not the right way to react. By removing comments containing the article, you created a Streisand effect, where attempts to censor information only end up making people more aware of said information. If you had just ignored the comment with the full article and acted like it was no big deal, people wouldn't have felt the need to troll you about copyright, and perhaps they might have actually discussed the topic in the article, as more people would have been able to read it.
But please don't let this fiasco discourage you from making typography posts on Lemmy. We need more communities and engagement here. It seems you're very passionate about this subject, and it would be a shame to see you leave. I'm sorry about the trolls from Hexbear, but again this wasn't the right way to respond to this.
Hopefully we can forgive and forget.
I know why they did it. I'm just not going to be bullied by anti-social trolls who are here for the wrong reasons. And I'll continue talking about typography because it's fun and interesting. Thanks.
