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

You may not know, but kind of the core developers of lemmy uses the name dessalines.

Since that's the case, the name is an obvious target for trolls, spammers, etc. That's what those accounts are/were.

It was impersonation until they were banned. Some spammers used these accounts to spam gore and stuff

Yeah, there was one particularly persistent troll in the early Lemmy times that registered that handle on every possible server to spam literal shit.

That particular user is a pro-china troll.

And also one of the creators of Lemmy.
