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

Maybe I can weigh in here as a neutralish third party observer. I like goat and Pug, but I think they are taking this too seriously and being a bit too terminally online. I also like db0, but I think the accusations of them protecting tankies is credible. I think the specific accusations against Davel and uruffled are also credible, though for slightly different reasons I won’t go into here. Everyone knows tankies gonna tank.
What it comes down to is that I think there has been a real effort to bait goat and Pug into this interaction, and this kind of thing has happened a few different times with different users who have run afoul of the tankie triad. I think goat and Pug kind of took the bait and need to chill out, and I think db0 needs to be more open to the idea that a few tankie power users really are trying to manipulate large portions of the fediverse, including their instance. Tankies are a problem on the fediverse, and to some degree I do kind of applaud goat and Pug for trying to stand up to them, but now we are just into useless shit slinging meta.
More than anything though, I think this is a great example of how public voting drives this kind of toxicity.
Goat has been overreacting by banning dbzer0 users as a whole.
While I’m obviously biased, I don’t think I’ve been overreacting simply by calling out literal fucking genocide denial.
thats obviously fake, pug
