Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. 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

Someone finally decided to sue the fediverse via karmacourt, and it's no surprise who it is (www.reddit.com)

And it seems karmacourt will be the first to posit that the fediverse is worth "putting in its place", going by the upvotes in such an empty community that probably discourages those kinds of suits.

Chinese Whispers isn't literally Chinese whispers. It's the name of a game kids play in school. Kids line up, then whisper something in the next kid's ear to pass it along, and once it reaches the last kid, it is spoken out loud to see how much it evolved.

I think here it's being a metaphor for hearsay.

[Completely off-topic] Where I live this game is known as "wireless phone" (telefone sem fio). Now thinking, it's kind of weird how the name is still there, in a world full of cell phones.
