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

It is with great sadness that i write this. however The Admin team has parted ways. I have closed registrations, and disabled the option to create new communities. The server will be ran until the payments dry up (about ~1-2 months). We have tried to build a community for autistic people online. It ended up not working for which we apologize. Please do not go after the other team members. Some disappeared, some went their ways, but whatever the reason i wish them the best. If you have any questions, leave them here and i will try to answer them.

For smaller instances like this, when they shut down, is it worth trying to see if someone else wants to take it over? You'd have to worry about handing it off to an internet stranger that might do bad things with it, but the risk seems pretty low.

It would also be nice if Lemmy had a migration feature based on public/private keys that let you automatically move accounts/communities to new instances

I hope users of lemmy.autism.place found another safe space for them.

It's a pity. They consulted with me a bit when they were considering opening their instance and they seemed very excited about it. But sadly one can't keep up a lemmy instance on enthusiasm alone. It's a lot of sysadmin work, and it's quite hard if you're not already proficient with this stuff.

Dang I'm tempted to ask for details but don't wanna poke the scars. Hope the best for the users involved.

Damn that's really depressing to hear I really enjoyed ausomememes after I recently discovered it. It helped me feel relatable and understand. Something I have never felt most of my life :'(

The linked thread's comments aren't federating to my instance so I'm commenting here. If someone recreates !sillydrawingrequests@lemmy.autism.place please let me know. I couldn't contribute much to it, but I would absolutely love to hang out and lurk, because that sounds like an adorable idea and I wish I had come across it before.

I messaged the mod of that community asking if they will spin it up elsewhere. I offered to open it up on sopuli if they are not planning to. Love that community!

Edit: I figured @BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place might be busy right now based on their history and might not answer any time soon, so I went ahead and created !sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz.

Very cool community indeed

Oh and I just looked through the history of that community and it was adorable!

Some really cute communities were hosted there. Thanks for coming, and for all the laughs!
