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

Hexbear isn't worth dogshit but if someone wants to waste their money, then i wont stop them
If I had the money I'd buy it and replace every post with goatse.
EDIT: wtf the insane asylum is loose. Halp
Maybe not goatse, but if i were rich i'd just redirect it to world lmfao
You'd be buying the domain name, not the lemmy instance. So if you wanted to replace every post with whatever, you'd first have to set up your own server and create a new lemmy instance for your newly purchased domain name. You'd have to take extra sets then to mangle your lemmy instance such that it didn't show the real posts but instead showed what you wanted...
In the end that technical work would be more expensive than the domain name... and probably not worth the effort for a short-lived and mean-spirited joke.
yes let's sexually harass all those people depending on our mutual aid comm. you're so righteous.
The idea is stupid, sure, but it's not like it's any more sexual harassment than posting pictures of a pig's ass repeatedly. Hexbear users (many of whom I quite like) should be used to it.
Yeah harassing homeless people asking for 20 bucks so they can avoid their next hypoglycemic seizure with mid 2000's edgy shock porn explicitly for the purpose of being cruel to them IS EXACTLY THE SAME as harassing deliberate trolls acting in bad faith with a picture of an animal's butt so they go away.
You're a perfectly well adjusted person who I totally wouldn't believe hurts small animals for fun.
Swear to god Hexbear is the best thing that's ever happened to the internet if only because we get to see a lot of people's real faces when they react to it.
