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

I am seeing posts from https://hexbear.net/ once again. Anyone know what happened since they lost their domain name? How did they get it back?

The admins got it back quite a while ago, the last bit of time has been ensuring smooth federation and using it as an opportunity to poll whether refederation was even what everyone wanted, as well as which style of federation (block list vs allow list, or none at all). Things are smoother now!

Did they end up choosing block list or allow list? I hope it was the former. Allowlist will exclude small instances and harm federation diversity.

They went with allow list as it used to be

I believe they went with broader federation, though obviously with the defederated instances remaining blocked.
