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

I'm a strong proponent that it's the owner, not the dog that is ultimately the reason pitty's get a bad rap. I've rarely come across a pit bull that isn't a big lovable goofball that just wants belly rubs and to play tug. But the one's that haven't been seem to have irresponsible owners that either don't know, or don't care about how to properly train their dog.
That said, it's hard not to look at the data and agree that a breed ban would be best.
Don't people say the same thing about guns?
Wanna go around deciding who should have them and who shouldn't? We can't keep criminals out of public office or innocent people out of prison. YOU figure out how to judge people where everyone else has failed. Until then, let everyone keep their claws.
They're dogs, not people.
Guns. Pay attention.
You can't train a gun.
But you can train a gun on a target! Checkmate Santa Clause and the Easter bunny!
........what?
But guns aren't naturally predisposed to attack people either
System attacks on owners are almost always by aging pitbulls. They probably start developing some kind of dimensia.
See i don't know. There was a lady in the news a couple years ago walking her dog and then her dog attacked her. Was she a bad owner, was the dog not trained or did the dog just snap for 30 seconds and kill her.
