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

MODERATORS
It's easy to understand them when you realise that their entire ideology starts at "anything the US does or says is bad" and continues from there.
Once you look at it through that lens, even their most wild takes suddenly become very consistent.
The US has been the grand champion of capitalism. That is a fair criticism to level against us. Its a criticism most of us share. We've done some fucked up shit and acted as a force multiplier making smaller conflicts into bigger conflicts with more killing and more suffering. We do this less because our politicians believe in doing the right thing and more because it maintains to neocolonial status quo. Where I draw the line with tankies though is that they are ALSO engaging in force multiplying neocolonialism. Russia is invading Ukraine right now because Putin is big mad about losing control of soviet colonial holdings. What I advocate for is a dismantling of both US capitalist colonialism AND Soviet Bolshevik colonialism. You can't be a tanky and Anticolonial, too
Yeah that's pretty much their stance, as I understand it
Loosing Ukraine? Well... as long as you're not implying or hinting at that the US or NATO took Ukraine away from Russia.
And I really hope you're not suggesting any of the conspiracy theories that the US had anything to do with the euromaidan protests or the that it was a coup or regime change! People who spread ahistorical lies like that are tankies!
It's nice you are against Sovjiet imperialism, but in this battle between good and evil we need to be unified and unquestioning in our loyalty for freedom to prevail. To be other is to be tanky.
Already there have been ten thousand civilian deaths deaths since the invasion. Has any conflict in recent history been more bloody?
Always remember, doubt is the enemy of victory. History can be rewritten, but glory is forever!
What the actual fuck are you talking about. My stance is Ukraine should be free, not a colony at all. And that they're making it happen and Putin hates it.
