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

She probably sees the number of fediverse participants that banned her as a drop in the bucket (not that it isn't, the fediverse is huge) and takes advantage of the fact that the communities that are supposed to have banned her are technically still functional to her. She made a vent way back where she said it couldn't have been a true ban due to this and because the TOS was never violated.
The lawsuit though is (supposedly) by a different person who says the two of them maintain the motives for the bans to be false. The upvotes in Karmacourt (which is otherwise mostly a dead community) signify they don't put it past the fediverse.
When you're instance banned and try to post to a community that is going to an instance you're banned from it will appear as if you're posting in that community like normal, but the post won't federate. Only users native to their instance will be able to see the posts (in Leni's case, only lemm.ee users can see those posts). Let's say you're instance banned from lemmy.world. You could seemingly post to a lemmy.world community on a lemm.ee account, but the post won't actually show up for lemmy.world users.
Leni's still banned. I don’t know why you seem so insistent on trying to say they aren’t. You don't seem to understand how federation works.

Leni attempted to post in a Beehaw community. Leni is instance-banned from Beehaw. This post isn't visible to anyone on the Beehaw instance. In fact, the post isn't even on Beehaw, it was posted on lemm.ee.
That's what I mean. It still has an audience. It just uses the programming done to block people, which is the reverse than how blocking works on other websites. Those people can't see it, but the post can still be popular, especially if it wasn't popular in the instance the person is banned from. The fediverse was made backwards.
Not what I was getting at, as it's not as if there is no impact. Though they can technically ban her from those individual communities anytime they want. They just haven't, except for Davel.
No, but it's not invisible. This has been a major negative point about the fediverse. She can, for example, advertise some shit in link form and get traffic, minus any mod being able to do anything about it, because they can't see it. But other people can.
What makes you think the posts cannot be reported? They exist on the lemm.ee instance. Lemm.ee mods and admins can see those posts. When you post to another instance you aren't actually leaving your native instance. It's more like trying to forward a letter to someone. In Leni's case their letters to lemmy.world are never leaving the post office (lemm.ee), but the staff at the post office (lemm.ee) can still see their letters, even though the recipient (lemmy.world) isn't getting them.
Exactly. The whole hometown can see those letters. And very occasionally people from other instances. She has memes in places where she is supposedly banned that have upvotes in the double digits.
Not an argument I'd make, but there's also the fact that admins that are willing to make such bans are also often willing to ban other people on a whim. And when the going gets rough, they often go to places that are less willing to ban people for small matters. Saying this because many will use this to say lemm.ee is the inevitable future of Lemmy.
