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

Right, so I hope this perspective from across the pond helped see how things are... tense over here.:-)
Do you think you're immune to this?
Absolutely NOT. Most of us have both friends and family members on both sides of this. Even neutral people are going to get roped in, even if only by the loss of someone else that we know. The pandemic showed us just how interconnected we all are - whether we acknowledge that, or even want to be, or not.
do you ever consider moving? leave the us to rot?
I briefly considered it but... the rest of the world is likewise devolving into fascism & totalitarianism, and anyway there's problems everywhere. None of us live forever - that's not even an option - so instead our choices are only how we face life and death. And I don't feel like giving in, even if I (literally) die on this hill, these are my people and I will help as much as I can until I cannot anymore.
