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

Mods 108 communities?
What we have here, sir and/or madam, is a Reddit mod. Excessive modding, a smell you can't quite place, same techniques.
Gotta say: I was hoping we wouldn't be followed by that type.
Pretty sure the Reddit mods were the biggest group of complainers against Reddits API changes, since they used third party apps in order to mod.
So it stands to reason a ginormous group of them switched to Lemmy and had plenty of free time to mod there as well.
Out of those, less then 10 are active

There are plenty of LW mods who mod a higher number of active communities
This has been a problem in Lemmy.ca for a while and I brought this up on [email protected] a while back:

It is inevitable, all lemmy instances will eventually be taken over by supermods that leverage their power to harass.
This vegan fiasco isn't even the first time but I guarantee you the admins will leave them to powermod the remaining 107 as they see fit.
Well, in this case the person in question couldn't handle the fallout of their actions, and actually deleted their whole account.
Powermods like that don't usually have only one account, and since they can mod themselves wherever they go, they usually do.
Nuking an account is just changing skins. The admins have the power to track and fix that, but they won't.
