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 use Jerboa and have already blocked the @lemmy.ml instance. There were calls to make that a thing with lent itself but I don't think it ever happened.
There were also suggestions to do more of the defederstions in a "soft" way, by means of adding the instance to the block list of any user on the instance that wants to defederate it. Reversible by any user that wants full access with their main user.
From what little I understand about how Lemmy works and what the goals of the Fediverse are, this sounded like a much better way to do things.
Lemmy's options for blocking and restricting are too limited, and it's also a bummer there's not an option for providing a reason for a block or restriction in the federated instances view. I think it all ties into Lemmy's issue with "moderating tools are not an emphasis"
