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

Banning people for downvoting posts seems like an overstep of position

Seems like beaver went crazy and jerkface did too. I dont know about you.

[–] li10@feddit.uk 42 points 2 months ago (14 children)

Banning people for downvoting posts is the most sensitive thing I’ve actually seen on the internet first hand.

And yet they probably still think people dislike them just because they’re vegan 🤷‍♂️

[–] socsa@piefed.social 17 points 2 months ago

This is exactly why non anonymous voting is a big problem for the fediverse

I mean the fact that the 3 of you have a particularly similar aggressive nature and after leaving 1 post all came here to keep up the exact same kind of bitchiness is not helping your argument.

Beaver started banning people for downvoting posts. A fellow mod reached out to Beaver to say that had not been the policy and if they wanted that to be the policy going forward the mods would need to discuss it. Beaver then ignored the request to discuss the new policy that Beaver arbitrarily decided on. The issue here seems to be Beaver, period.

This whole thing keeps delivering

I have no skin in this game, and just think the drama is funny.

Are vegans vegan? Watching mods eat each other brings up weird questions for me.

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Fuck, sorry, it was a cheat day. (Eating the rich is still vegan tho btw)

[–] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Obviously truth... The richer they are, the more they appear to have IQs lower than carrots.

Eat the rich: it's good for the country AND your health!

All they did was kick a bunch of mods that were harming a community and trying to create drama without even having the balls to discuss openly the reasons they were banning people. The comments about how a moderator that was there for 3 months should have more power than a moderator that had been there for 11 days (despite one of them not having the wellbeing of the community as a priority) is an amazing joke. https://lemmy.world/post/19731457 everyone should read this post and they will quickly understand after reading op and the comments from people like jerkface why this happened. Posting a modlog without context or explanation is acting in pretty bad faith here.

Also, as a community (lemmy as a whole) we should think if we want to keep people like Beaver who moderates 100+ communities, there are a lot of people moderating way more than they can chew and becoming really stupid, as also seen recently with the bot drama in news on lemmy world. We really love to be repeating reddits problems.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 16 points 2 months ago

100+ communities,

95 of those are inactive.

There are mods on LW who moderate 10 active communities. Even further, any LW admins can virtually mod all of the LW community.

also seen recently with the bot drama in news on lemmy world.

Indeed.

Hi vegans! I'm not really inclined to go anywhere near c/vegan while you're working all this stuff out so while you're here let me just take this opportunity to say I admire your diet and stuff. Glad you're around, hope it goes well.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You have been banned by c/vegan

Crazy how much juicy drama that community has been providing. The rest need to step up or this place will just be about vegans.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And bean memes... Hey! WAIT A SECOND!

Amazingly level headed response actually, I have no criticism whatsoever.

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 15 points 2 months ago

That's a good post.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 14 points 2 months ago

I'm just going to take a wild guess that the two downvotes on your comment are two of the three ex-mods, based on their behaviour in this thread

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 22 points 2 months ago

Okay now I’m just getting ready to block Beaver, thejerkface and Thelemmybud because they just keep spamming this all over the place. I don’t know if their intention is to try to drum up support but it should be obvious to them from the number of downvotes they keep getting that their crocodile tears aren’t working.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 17 points 2 months ago

This is simultaneously the most hilarious and least consequential meltdown on the internet this year.

[–] aaaaace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Even though it's scientifically unsupportable, I'm still genuinely interested in what it's like to live on Vega.

They grow up so fast.

Poor Jerkface. He's funny. He threatened to block all of my accounts but didn't. I like him. He makes me laugh.

The Lemmy/Reddit moderator structure is a failure. Communities should have democratic governance.

On this specific issue I think everyone involved needs to take a deep breath, step away from the issue for like 24 hours, and talk to each other respectfully to work out how this should be resolved. But that is just my opinion.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Communities should have democratic governance.

I've seen some instances elect their admins. No mod election yet, but that probably happened somewhere.

To be fair, as a mod myself, the issue is usually to get potential mod candidates in the first place.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wonder what kind of structure they used. I’m also a mod mainly because somebody has to be. But my communities are small and not controversial so I haven’t had to do anything controversial either. It’s mostly that I’m willing to keep an eye on things.

However, maybe I should walk the walk and start thinking about how that might work in case they grow to the point where more moderation becomes necessary.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just realized I've seen you a lot on /r/Redditalternatives! Nice to see you here!

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

Likewise. I like to spread the good word as well haha.
