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 think part of it is because lemmy has historically been welcoming to people with different ideas. If your views aren't welcome elsewhere, you can just host your own instance and say whatever you want.

But I also think we're witnessing coordinated propaganda. It reminds me so much of the pro-russian trolling and memes that took over 4chan in 00s and early 10s.

Yes, it definitely reminds me of that!!! I have been noticing it a lot here as well and this is also the conclusion I'm leaning toward. I've seen a few comments that felt like they are trying to appeal to every side of American politics. I've decided to always speak up about it because this feels dangerous. Like they are trying to manipulate western opinions for something.
