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

Big Drama Llamas...

User @[email protected] posted a call to pressure the devs to return CAPTCHA support before v.0.18 arrives on the community [email protected].

Mixed response from users and beehaw admins.

Lemmy issue #2922 is where it was removed 2 weeks ago due to its effectiveness being limited, Lemmy issue #3200 is the issue where it is suggested to have it return. Repo maintainers are somewhat perceptive to reverting it but would be more willing to accept a full implementation of graphical CAPTCHA over the previous version.

I agree with that. Things change quickly too, what was not a problem at all 2 weeks ago (when the CAPTCHA removal PR was put in) is a big problem now as the Lemmy Threadiverse is more than 10x its previous size.

I wouldn't put it past people probing every domain for lemmy using a dictionary attack and TLDs. (lemmyhub.site, lemmyclub.xyz, lemmystation.pictures, etc.)
