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

Lemmy users dox a random person for fun (lemmy.nz)

A meme was posted to c/memes@lemmy.world with a partial picture of a driver's licence. The Lemmy users in the comments proceeded to post all the identifying information they could get from the license, including gender, date of birth, and zip code of the person's home. The meme is probably reposted and so this isn't doxxing the Lemmy OP, but that's what the users in the comments seem to think they're doing.

Collecting and disseminating someone's personal information is doxxing even if that information could be found anyway with enough time and knowledge.

That moment when people attack me in a similar way, and they insist "our judgment is sound and we're credible", but then something like this happens to someone else more profoundly. Proof that verdict by the masses isn't so infallible and that sometimes invalidations are themselves invalid. I'm going to bring this up from now on whenever this happens to remind some of them that their approach to these things is so unspecial that so much as an analogy could challenge it. If even a single aspect of something isn't open to discussion/verification that doesn't involve ganging up on them, it renders the plaintiffs' concerns problematic.

They have an empathy problem. They don't make their posts readable because they don't think of how others will read it. They called someone a Japanese homophobic slur because they don't think of how others will take their words. They don't apologise because they don't think of how they've hurt others. It's not a medical issue, it's a personality issue. They'd get as much benefit from a spiritual guru as from a therapist. Both would just tell them to think about other people's feelings.
