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

Personally I feel like that should be it’s own separate community since those people aren’t really powertripping, they’re just being assholes. Powertripping is something only community mods can really do.

I remember suggesting such community a few weeks ago on !fedigrow@lemm.ee, majority of people preferred to avoid it: https://feddit.org/post/5768311
Maybe we can suggest again, or maybe it's too early
I very much disagree with their sentiment considering that many offenses like harassment and ban evasion are quite serious. I've dealt with some of that from one specific user (who went as far as to threaten to kill me) and the fact that people are still unaware of the real problem associated with that user is preventing them from being banned, and causing people to just go off about things that are not actually problems.
Probably would suggest to wait for a while, or maybe just do it and let people come. People who hate !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com don't have to use it or browse it do they? No they don't, but it provides awareness for abusive moderation, despite the fact many abusive mods despise it.
Something like this for users though should only be done for serious offenses, like harassment, threats, or encouragement of suicide, and callouts should only really be made when a user is directly involved in the situation.
I'll wait a few days. Ping me again here next week and we can open another thread to discuss with people potentially interested
