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

Typically, if you see that one person is being banned from a bunch of communities at the same time, it just means that they are being banned from the instance.
If an admin wants to ban one of their own users, it's a single activity that's federated out, but if they want to ban a remote user, the only way it can be done under the current system is for every community that the banned person has interacted with to ban them. It's an automatic process, triggered by the admin pressing one button once. (it's not a perfect solution, because nothing prevents the banned user interacting with other communities, at least as far as their local instance is concerned).
That's not quite correct. An instance ban works just fine without corresponding community bans. What didn't work, was content removal. An instance ban issued with removal of all content posted by a user used to just remove content locally without federating the removal.
To get around it, instance bans now issue community bans too, so that content removal federates. However they still create community bans it even when content removal isn't selected during the instance ban.
