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

Blocking them will just serve to isolate them more. You don't solve problems by closing off everyone who disagrees with each other into a thousand little bubbles.
Okay, so what problems have been solved by giving platforms to extremists?
Yeah but they're not looking to converse they're just looking to disrupt.
When you argue, you are either arguing to convince your opponent, your audience, or yourself. If your opponent is not willing to budge on their ideas, well, then you're pissing up a flagpole.
The goal of a discussion is understanding, the goal of a debate is victory.
What's the goal of shitting in your own hand and flinging it at people who aren't interested in being covered in your shit?
I think an instability, a want for attention, or a distraction –for either your target or yourself.
These defederations are helping to prove that trolling has no place on Lemmy.

They have the option to do it and they did. The fediverse was made exactly for this situation and its nice it's like this. It's not 'how' it should be running, it's more of respecting all others choices: you don't tell people what to do. Simple.
That move will tell you more on this community, than all the effort they could deploy to convince more people into their delirious system.
They weren't engaging in good faith political discussion. They were shitting in their own hands and flinging it at people who weren't interested in being covered in their shit. If you want to be covered in their shit you can create an account on those instances just as I can choose not to.
