Drama in the Fediverse
Welcome to the Lemmy Drama community!
This is a place to share and enjoy drama across the fediverse. Grab your popcorn, and dive in!
Rules:
1. Don't bring your own drama.
If you are a part of the drama, don't post it here. We're here to enjoy drama, not see it brought to this community.
2. Be civil.
No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. No ongoing drama.
if there’s been a comment in the past 3 days, wait until it’s settled down.
5. No interacting with the drama you find here.
That means no upvotes, no downvotes, and no commenting in the original thread.
6. Keep the drama focused on Lemmy and/or the fediverse only.
If it’s Kbin or Mastodon drama, it must be a quality effort post.
7. Don’t piss on the popcorn.
Inciting brigades is an automatic ban.
8. Mod Perogative
We reserve the right to enforce the rules however we like.

I get that you’re upset about the piracy community being blocked, but calling the lemmy.world admins incompetent is completely uncalled for. The site’s been hit with intermittent DDOS attacks, and since Lemmy is a fairly new platform there aren’t a lot of tools to mitigate these attacks. Hence the need for cloudflare.
Being the biggest instance, lemmy.world gets to experience all the growing pains of scaling up Lemmy first. The lemmy.world admins have been on top of things and open about status updates throughout all this. They’ve even found solutions to issues in the Lemmy code and issued pull requests to implement them.. And they’re doing this as unpaid volunteers.
Cool!
