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

Decisions like this only hurt Fediverse as general. They become like Reddit where wrong opinion can get you banned, which is main reason for Reddit being shit. If they continue to blacklist instances just because they're not locked down for the sake of someone not saying N-word, they will eventually become just normal forums (and probably dead).
Safe spaces don't even exist in real life and people should just stop trying to censor everyone. They're too sensitive for everything and should finally learn to ignore all insults, etc.
Usual trend is that unmoderated platforms turn into 4chan /b/ and /pol/ clones, which is toxic to regular users. I agree with being able to discuss any idea on a platform in a civil way, but I don't really see the reason for allowing slurs used agains people.
no they shouldn't, but they need mods for each community and mods can easily just ban users that do that. I think the problem is they have just 4 admins that are trying to moderate all their communities.
They need to just recruit mods and ban hammer users that don't play by the rules.
Mod tools would be good though especially if you could auto delete posts with certain slurs or whatever you didn't want in the community.
I think here the admins are going for a proactive rather than a reactive solution. Beehaw does have a slur filter already. I checked the modlog and although I know it's not at all reflective of the character of the thousands of active Lemmy world users as a whole, the posts that had to be removed (from the accounts created specifically to post that) were fairly disgusting.
Well, they explained why they did it; and considering that Beehaw's stated ethos is to be a safe place for minorities, it only makes logical sense that they'd defederate more strictly for the time being to get their bearings
