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

That was sort of my thinking as well. I've been trying to get a clear answer for a ban that archived everything to show that they were just banned for criticism, and I haven't gotten a direct answer other than a claim that contradicts the evidence.
Purging an account, banning it, and then allowing them to sweep everything under the ban rug is a direct attack on the credibility of user accounts, and I can understand people not trusting a server with it when they do that, and it's even worse when those admins are capable of being charismatic so people are much less keen to question them.
That's something that abusive power mods on reddit did all the time. They tried to sweep everything under the ban rug, keep quiet about it and only give out vague reasons, and then just label the user a shithead when they inevitably then had to proceed to try to scale it up, which meant trying to attract more attention, which made people question them more, which just swept them up with the people that really deserved it, and it just became a vicious cycle.
The one big tell is that when somebody really deserves it, they don't really hide it, whereas when its much more questionable, they keep so quiet that you have to wonder whether the person in question killed anyone, which just adds to it.
You can see how their admins behave in this thread...
Uh, is @[email protected] really Antik and not just someone trying to supplant their identity by naming themselves [email protected]? That .. just raises so many questions if so.
No CJO, it's me don't worry I posted from my main account too
Bro that's not one of my accounts you dumbass.
No surely just a random pedo defender who pops up in the same threads like you ๐
Man wtf? The guy didn't defend pedophilia, he isn't me and we aren't the only two people on lemmy. Whats your fucking point?
Yeah, I saw. Just surprised to see an admin acting this way, you've basically been quite reserved up to this point from my perspective. I was really hoping to give my suspicions more of a benefit of a doubt, but you just went and accused me of being someone else for replying to their comments...
I can't talk for your argument with them or what you are accusing them off, but you've obviously read the first of my comments in this thread, and I have nothing else to add. The only thing I am doing is what the intent of lemmy is for me, seeing how instances handle their administration to make an informed decision about how well I can trust them and participate in them. That means checking up and following up communities and posts like the one we are on. Don't let your paranoia chase your own tail.

.. and now you are creating links to content you claim is pedo all over the thread ..
Claim is the correct word seeing the posts lol...
Look at the @lemm.ee at the end of their username, this is likely an impersonated account. Certainly not the real Antik given how they behave.
That's what I first was suspicious of elsewhere in the thread , but they have since made it pretty clear it was them: http://web.archive.org/save/https://lemmy.world/comment/5138651 (Or, well, here if they still haven't deleted it: https://lemmy.world/u/antik ) and have even suggested I'm an alt of the user I was replying to along with some wild but otherwise unproved claims that my account was created around the same time his was removed (he knows, or should know, why and when I created mine: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/4632925 https://sh.itjust.works/comment/4648668 )
