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

Honestly, my first thoughts were that reddit had probably funded some blackhats to sabotage shit because they're still salty. Then, they could have it reported.
Honestly dude if you believe this is true you should speak with a therapist.
Why would a guy who called their free labor "landed gentry" and thinks Elon Musk is running the site formerly known as twitter well, not go after where a shit ton of his content creators went? It's stupid enough to be him, lol.
Do you think that I haven't been back to check? The niche groups are fine, the bigger ones are hurting for content. I can read you know.
See above
If you believe businesspeople never commit crimes to shut down their competition, you should read some history books. Antitrust violations, murders, aerial bombings—you name it, and if it's illegal and gives a business an advantage over its competition, it's happened.
Ignore these people telling you that you're being too paranoid. I assumed the same about the series of DDoS attacks that lemmy.world experienced in the last few months. Reddit admins trying to undercut lemmy's growing popularity "by any means necessary" is perfectly logical. DDoS followed by content attacks even follows Reddit's own struggles over the years.
It's okay. Thank you for the support. They seemed quick to complain and kinda organized to be this deep in some obscure comment thread.

And, agreed about the DDoS attacks.
The comment was more about inspiring a pro-fediverse angle, in any case. Imagine defending reddit, here of all places.
