Advocating piracy is one thing, but now banning people for believing in copyright? That’s like banning people for following the law. That is banning people for following the law. What gives? And to think a while ago I declared I wouldn’t have any reason to not take their bans (or the motives behind them) seriously.

Are we trying to get world governments to ban Lemmy (or, worse, the fediverse)? Love the administrative decisions or hate them, such decisions will drag down the whole fediverse. Typically sites are defederated to protect the sites defederating them from liability. Will this be an example, or does this, out of convenience, not apply? Are we forgetting a large portion of the fediverse’s demographics consist of artists trying to make a damn living?

We at least want Lemmy to not get the same fate Tiktok almost did, right?

Beehaw rigorously protects LGBT people.

Technically neither of them do. Blahaj has had a neopronoun problem since day 1. They’ll also take sides between transphobes instead of condemning both their transphobia. That’s sneaky shit.

Sometimes those rules reflect a personal choice. Sometimes they reflect ethics. And sometimes they are protecting themselves from the law.

Almost every instance has defederated from Burggit because its terms of service mention they will turn a blind eye to pedo content. Pedo content, quite obviously, is highly illegal (at least in the majority of first world nations), which shouldn’t have to be mentioned to people. Nobody is applying that logic to Burggit.

what fate? The one that was just a stupid stunt by Trump? Literally can’t be happening on the fediverse as the instances are distributed across the whole world.

And you don’t think Trump would apply a stunt like that to the fediverse? He currently has a program where the government vets immigrants for their social media posts when they sign up for American citizenship. I would dare pray someone moving to America who has a Lemmy profile doesn’t get found out as a lemming.

He’s just an idiot in a powerful position, he probably isn’t even aware of the fediverse. And even if he was, he can’t do anything about ALL of the fediverse, as it is spaning globally and developed mainly in europe.

It’s 100% possible to block a website in one country that comes from another country. It doesn’t affect the website in its own country, but it still prevents the website from being usable in the country that blocked it.

In the past, I too may have said he’s probably not aware of the fediverse, but then a fediverse mod blew up a fertility clinic a few weeks ago. That at least puts us all on the far edges of the NSA’s radar. Even Kiwi Farms has never produced any mass saboteurs.

How? Lemmy is federated. If tiktok was banned, tiktok was “banned.” If dbzer0 is banned, .world and .wtf still work.

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
