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

While I agree that pits have the capability to fuck your shit up 6 ways before you can blink, and along with breeds like the Pug should just be allowed to die off with the current generation, you are using a common tactic of "I'll use the best argument to represent my side, and the worst argument to represent their side so it's clear my side is superior" as a generalization for the entire opposing viewpoint.

Straw men blow away in strong winds. Build better arguments, you'll make better points.

Is it a strawman if someone came and specifically argued that?

It's a strawman if it's presented as "the argument of that side", yes.
