# 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

User Call Me Leni is from the infamous site "Kiwifarms". Made a thread on Kiwifarms titled "Why do people who commit famous tragedies (almost) all look the same?" which is mostly about Luigi Mangione. (imgur.com)

Leni was perceived as power tripping by banning users for expressing support for Luigi Mangione, being featured on the YPTB community.

User "ShiverMeTimbers" in the YPTB thread was also banned. Modlogs say it was an alt of Call Me Leni: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=10474742

As some may already be aware, months ago, there was a callout post on lemmy.world about a user named Call Me Leni.

It has recently been found out that this user is a member of Kiwifarms, and this is one of Leni's posts there. How do we know this is Leni? Because Leni directly referenced these Kiwifarms posts in Lemmy comments. (The link to Kiwifarms is in the word "question"). Leni is known for taking the usernames of people on DeviantArt and signing up using those usernames on other websites. Particularly the usernames of DeviantArt users who called Leni out.The username that posted these messages is that of a DeviantArt artist who, at one point, called Leni out. Leni has accounts all over the internet. The Kiwifarms user here also shares Leni's distinctive writing style, art (the avatar) and opinions. Several things stated by the Kiwifarms account are consistent with details that Leni has posted on the Lemmy account.

For those who aren't in the know about Kiwifarms, this Wikipedia article explains it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms Kiwifarms is blocked here in the UK, so I had to use TOR to access it.

Why does this matter? Are they even still around?

Leni's still around. I see Leni is banned from your instance, dbzer0, so you can't see Leni's posts as posts from banned users don't federate to remote instances they are banned from. Kiwifarms is an infamous site that was made for harassing, doxing and stalking of online figures, particularly those who are LGBT, neurodivergent, or disabled. The site has been linked to three suicides and the owner of the site, Joshua Moon, is apathetic to this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms

Kiwifarms is blocked here in the UK, which is why I had to use TOR browser to get the screenshots. When I try and access it normally, I get this:

Apparently when you sign up, there's a disclaimer that contains slurs, so users sign up knowing full well what the aim of the site is and have to click a box agreeing with the disclaimer before they can join the site.

Other countries besides the UK have also blocked Kiwifarms: https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/350498096/infamous-kiwifarms-website-blocked-by-cyber-security-firm-over-escalating-threats the owner of the site, Joshua Moon, refused to remove the 2019 Christchurch terror attack footage that was posted there. When contacted by police, Moon "responded in an aggressive and mocking way, calling Aotearoa a "shithole country" with "f****t law". "
