I have a friend of a friend that said you’re an alt of Leni.
It’s not me though, it’s a real friend that exists.

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

The fact that they're suing "the Fediverse" as if it was a monolithic entity is real funny.

Yeah, the whole point of the Fediverse is it's decentralized. Each instance has its own independent administrators so if you come across an instance you don't like, you can just post to another one. Lemmy isn't just one site but hundreds of sites that communicate together.

Oh, of COURSE that's the user they're complaining got banned. The Nazi troll with a thousand alts on a dozen sites, all speaking in the same voice to defend her, who has been discussed on this very sub over and over and over. Honestly, I guessed, even before seeing the username in the mod logs.
When an entire multiverse of websites tells you to fuck off, why would you even want to stay?
Just looked at OP's recent post history, and they seem to be concern trolling about if "transracial" identities will be covered under Feddit.uk's transphobia guidelines. https://lemmy.wtf/post/22009472/14897093

Context for those unaware:
"A friend of mine" OP is referring to Call Me Leni, who was banned from several instances and communities for being a KiwiFarms member, among other things, and OP has a grudge against the Fediverse for this. Leni shouldn't have linked their KiwiFarms posts on Lemmy, and linked Lemmy threads talking about them on their KiwiFarms account. That wasn't very bright of them.
Call me Leni also defended KiwiFarms as a "free speech" site and tried to conflate the hate site with Discord:
I take it OP feels like the Fediverse is violating "free speech" for banning KiwiFarms members.

Why did I know it was Lenislop before I even opened the link?
Chinese whispers
Well that's a new term for me. Sounds... Wildly racist lol
It's an outdated term, definitely. An alternative would be the Telephone Game, which is the same thing with a different name.
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.
[Sorry for the double comment]
Disclaimers: I'm aware that I might have an incomplete picture of the situation. As such take what I say with a grain of salt, and do call me out if I say something that is bullshit. Also, I'd rather not take intentions into account.
With that out of the way: Kiwi Farms is a cesspool, and I think that Leni should take this whole situation as a wake up call.
That site doesn't just "happen" to contain harassment; it exists for harassment, even if Leni claims otherwise. It is not for "an angle of freedom of speech". And even if she's just there for some popcorn, or to discuss random stuff, clowns only perform where there's an audience clapping and laughing at their stunts. I don't know if she actively harassed someone, but she's still condoning it. It's still bad.
And, like, I know popcorn is fun, but this sort of site is better treated as "don't touch it". GIF related:
[I'm posting this to lighten the mood.]
And linking the Fediverse in KF is even worse. The Fediverse hosts lots of disempowered people, often from marginalised groups. Linking it there is the same as saying "hey guys! Here's a barn full of lolcows!". Don't - those people have enough shit to deal with, you're only making it worse for them.
So, while I personally don't hold any strong opinion for/against Leni, I do think those instance admins did the right thing - they're protecting their users.
I hope the Plaintiff knows that the Karma Court is just for the lolz?

a game of Chinese whispers
Most people would have called it "Telephone."
I only know it as the "broken telephone"
OP is referring to the KiwiFarms user Call Me Leni. https://lemmy.wtf/post/22238310/14899370
