- 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 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

Edited to clarify that I'm not calling Heaxbears "homeless."
The schadenfreude on Lemmy for Hexbear is somewhat disturbing to me. So you didn't like them. They are still people. Stop cheering things going badly for them. Do you laugh at homeless people, starving people, someone who falls down and gets injured?
Comparing to homeless people is a very poor comparison. Better to compare to a company with distasteful practices experiencing hardship. And yes in those cases I would laugh.
It's literally just a domain name after all
I wasn't comparing them to homeless people, though I see how that was derived. I was rather asking if people are completely devoid of empathy. More like, "do you laugh at the unfortunate."
I think the cheering is lame, but the instance itself will be fine under a new domain. I don't think it's sensible to compare laughing at Hexbear (which Hexbear users are also doing) with laughing at homeless people.
Should have used the word "unfortunate." "Homeless" was just the first word to come to mind for taking delight in a cruel fashion.
