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

This is awful mod behaviour... (lazysoci.al)

I used to see this on Reddit, I'm disappointed this behaviour is also on Lemmy.

Users collecting mod status on multiple communities, and then using that power to mass-ban a single user from a bunch of communities.

Modlog show how incredibly trigger happy some mods can be. Minor transgressions, deserving to have their comment removed at least, but then banned from unrelated communities as a consequence. This will only get worse as users become supermods.

Edit: It seems this is how an instance ban is reported, by banning from any communities the user has participated in. Then perhaps it isn't all as bad as it seems.

Thanks, didn't realise it was a historic issue. Only just noticed.

I guess I should expect to be banned from a bunch of communities for even mentioning it. It's so petty and shows how thin-skinned people can be. Shouldn't be mods if they can't perform the role objectively.

lemmy.ml is a trap run by literal communists (who also happen to be the main developers of the lemmy software) it's basically like the Lion King scene "but what's that shadowy place?" "oh that's lemmy.ml, we don't go there"

But the nice thing about federation is that even thought it's run by the developers, we don't have to participate there and they evidently don't want us "sheep" to participate there either so we can have a mutually beneficial relationship of not having anything to do with one another.

Hopefully more apps start to support piefed and maybe more instances will make the switch, allowing us to jettison there need for ml's lemmy development.

The problem is not being communist (or following Deng Xiaoping), that's fine. It's to follow certain Reddit patterns of moderation that you see regardless of the mod being communist or not, such as hidden rules.

And the presence of that specific hidden rule ("don't criticise the Chinese government here") there is an open secret. It's enforced so often that, even in cases like this - where dessalines is actually saying the truth* - people don't believe it.

*check the modlog, the guy was behaving like a wild monkey.

If you really want to participate in places just make an account on the top 100 instances and then boom alts for days, follow me on tiktok for more life advice.
