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

The moderation not so much the content was what was wrong with it.
Linux needs criticism and you hear the voices of the less tech savvy if it wants to grow its user base and gain wider adoption, similar to lemmy. But if that discussion is a bad faith, "Linux is bad and you can't change my mind" posts, with enforcement via moderation, then it's not useful to anyone really.
The moderation of the community or the instance? Madthumbs is also the mod at linuxsucks@lemmy.world
In This specific example, the issue was purely with the community and sole moderator.
Ok, so the new community will not change anything in that regard.
I use Linux and I think a lot of the criticisms are not only valid, but often hilarious. Everyone who uses Linux has funny stories about fucking up their system doing something they shouldn’t have.
I've totally done some things with

Memes are important man. People have written PhD dissertations in this shit.
