# 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

This unfolded on "United States | News & Politics@midwest.social". Owner 'seahorse' showing the kind of person they are.
This is not how you run a server.
Edit: link to comment:
Confirmed its real, and now I am blocking that instance. Thanks for the info. There is enough content on lemmy, a few instances can be excluded.
I personally think that's a bit much to block an entire instance over when just one admin is being mildly annoying. Their comment is basically nothing imo lol. Compare that to the OP of this post whose profile picture is a cartoon pony from a children's show having an orgasm.
So server admins are how we get the Reddit mod experience
yeah i have my problems with midwest. i think a succinct way to put it is that instance does not appreciate the federation process.
..so was this about his take on the Gaza war? That he thought support for Palestine would lead to a loss of democracy?
No they’re saying that’s what people criticizing the protestors are arguing. I think their take is perfectly acceptable but the power tripping is pretty rough
But it is.
Lemmy isn't set up to create a set of fairly moderated communities with buy-in from users. It is set up so anyone can be a dictator on their own server.
Yup. But thankfully, it's also set up so they can quickly become dictators of their own little desert island.
Users can still quickly leave until they found a fair admin
A fair admin for now.
