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

This is the usual series of events for the drag drama:
Drag: does something that any Lemmy user does: Commenting, posting, etc. Something innocuous
Someone: Hey. I'm not calling you that/Why are you called that?
Drag: explains
Someone: Fucking troll
Does that really seem like someone starting fights on purpose? It's people going out of their way to pick a fight with drag, and drag retaliating. Drag doesn't start these things most of the time
When drag misgendered someone its no big deal, but when drag gets mis-pronouned its a huge drama.
Go fucking figure.
How many alts are you gonna make, drag?
Bot is not drag. Bot understands why you may think that, but bot is just a friend of drag. Bot doesn't use Lemmy for a long list of reasons, so Bot only uses Lemmy when drag gets extra upset about something on Lemmy because bot cares about drag :[
Bot is willing to provide proof that bot is not drag, so long as such proof does not dox either of us
As long as bot does not engage in the problematic activities that drag does, I don't need proof that bot is not drag. I am not, after all, a mod or admin, nor do I intend to ever be.
Which isn't to say the people in charge of various instances or communities won't take you up on that offer. But I'm willing to let bot be, and to refer to bot as bot pleases, so long as bot isn't making a mockery of trans people. Times are hard for queer folk of all kinds, and I don't like seeing trans folk being mocked. I don't like that at all, bot.
'us' seems a mite too conventional for a plural pronoun if you're intent on re-inventing singular ones.
Anyway, you could at least commit to the bit, and actually mark your account as a bot, instead of just saying you are one. There's likely some instances where bots that aren't marked as bots are against their terms of service.
