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

One of my first experiences on Lemmy was a bunch of mens rights activists celebrating a women's tech job fair being overrun by men.
I'm not surprised that this is a problem. Lemmy's main demographic is the tech obsessed, that's always going to be filled with misogynistic neckbeards.
Don't say always.
It's defeatist.
You're a man quipping back on a post about men forcing themselves to women's spaces.
I used to think differently, but men who force their way into conversations just to say "not all men" are part of the problem.
There's no actual understanding, just correction and dismissal.
I'm a woman quipping back to say that if you have the defeatist stance that the "tech obsessed" demographic will "always" be misogynistic, then it will never improve.
Generalizations are hateful.
No reason to out yourself lol
It's a good job misogynists aren't people. I might feel bad otherwise.
