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

Reading through the admin’s post it looks like they have the exact same issue with chapo.chat being registered by an admin who is no longer active and not responding to the rest of the admin team. They explicitly say to view the move to chapo.chat as temporary unless they can get control of that domain.
Sounds like a good lesson for them and many other fediverse instances to form some sort of non-profit/club/organization legal entity and better ensure that these critical items are open to multiple individuals to reduce the bus factor. I would assume having a legal entity would make it easier to get donations to cover costs too.
"No longer active" presumably means "died in Ukraine?"
I'm taking it as "grew up and realised he had been an idiot, so stopped talking to them or supporting the cause"
Y'all are really overthinking this. Have you ever just gotten tired of using some platform or just become less chronically online in any capacity? It doesn't mean they died or had a change of heart. People's interests change over time. Not everyone wants to do the same thing forever.
These people are holding onto some weird ass one sided internet beef with a lemmy instance of communist trans people, do you really think they've ever touched enough grass to grow past the age they first joined reddit?
Don't play the victim. Those who were around when Hexbear first federated with the main instances remember how awful their behaviour was. Being a trans communist doesn't shield you from criticism, nor does it excuse that behaviour. None of grudges people hold are unfounded.
Where am i playing the victim? All i said was people like you are holding on to a weird one-sided beef with trans communists.
And then you put it on full display again.
