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 don't understand what you're losing, tbh. I literally don't understand the drama.
Why would you want to downvote on a discussion forum? If it's trolling, then report it and a mod can delete it. If you disagree, then reply and explain. Isn't that why we're here... To talk about and share content and ideas?
Not always worth the time to reply and explain. A downvote says "This isn't content worth engaging with." If some pro-genocide twat comes in and says "Aktually you have to understand that the genociders are in a very tough position...", it may not be trolling or against the community rules, but it sure as shit isn't worth being part of the discussion.
Exactly this, the idea that every viewpoint deserves to be respected and given an equal share of attention is false. Racists, homophobes, ect don't deserve to be given a platform to spread their views and down votes are one of the more effective tools a community has to limit those kinds of content.
