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

I wonder if you can auto bid like in ebay??
Looking at it again, yeah. I think that's exactly what's happening.
p_p raised to 800 and it immediately went up to 810 in favour of j_s. p_p then proceeded to raise by a hundred until 1600 with p_p automatically raising to that number + 10.
So I think either there's an autobid, some sort of script, or someone with no life involved.
I think it might be the latter. I watched it for half an hour while JS was not in the lead, so I don't think it's automatic
Actually, there's a "How auctions work" link. It says:
I guess what you saw was just that j_s max bid was reached and had to be re-upped.
