Hazycora[1] was informally hired to work on Loops web UI. Then Daniel[2] posted about his idea to launch a video ads network for Loops (which he latter admitted was a joke), and Hazycora commented that such posts hurt people’s trust in him.
This was followed by an avalanche of mutual accusations, which I shall not dwell, as a result Hazycora no longer works for Loops.
Consequences
Accounts using “hazy.gay” email domain were banned on loops.video with a fake dubstep-posting Kamala Harris account as an excuse. This also breaks guest browsing on loops.gay.
Hazycora’s username on loops.video was forcibly changed from single-letter “h” to “hazellll”.
Disassemblies of the Loops client were published on GitHub.
Hazycora says she has got more than $500 in donations in the past two days; Daniel says his following count is growing, and hers are going down; both claims need verification.

This is so weird from the outside looking in. I haven’t heard of any of these people and my experience with the loops video player is that it looks like one or two people just post little pointless videos sometimes on someone’s hobby website.
This post feels like someone taking their little five person lunchroom drama and putting it in like a town newspaper as if any other readers should feel the need to know about it.

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
