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

After a thread was made in [email protected] asking to defederate from lemmy.dbzer0.com for "the facilitation of piracy, and copyright infringement in general which is illegal", the admins of lemmy.world deleted it prompting discussions on !asklemmy[@]lemmy.ml and !piracy[@]lemmy.dbzer0.com.

Yes it is. That’s a solvable issue.

They have "solved" it many times. The people doing it clearly know what the most resource intensive requests are with Lemmy, and whenever one vector is patched they come up with another.

To be clear: every Lemmy instance has the same vulnerability as World does. World is likely getting attacked because they're the biggest. They aren't having any other kind of resource issue - it's not a problem because of the number of people.

I'm personally faulting the people attacking it and not the admins. They didn't cause the situation, and I'm not going to let assholes manipulate me into leaving.
