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

$ value and value $ are both seen in Canada for example, former being more common in English, latter in French

Canadian conventions vary by language. In English, I've only ever seen $ then figure.

Canadian government price indexes
BBC report on Canadian supermarket prices
- photo of multilingual price tag
- price comparison table shows currency symbol £ C$ $ precede figures

The ISO currency code can go after (eg, 1 USD, 1 CAD).

It's a national convention: Wikipedia claims that in all English-speaking countries (and most of Latin America), the symbol precedes the amount.

If they're a non-native English writer, I guess that would explain it. An awful lot of people in the US seem to do this, too. 🤷
