# Rules
1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
3. 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

Holy Shit. What a dumbass.
Is other people’s choice to have kids or not really the hill you want to die on??
Well anyways, if this article is legit, looks like we’ll have a couple FBI agents joining us here. Welcome!
Ugh, now I have to add "in Minecraft" to all my posts.
Look at politics since USA founding. Nathaniel Hawthorne warned us. Buddha, Jesus, Rumi, others taught unity, with self and others and vexed the greedy politicians and religious power structures that propped them up, telling us wealth is to be shared, and other teachings that ended up stripped from religiopolotical structures because they threaten those power structures.
look at the way the natives were treated, the overall general thing that you could say about the north american natives is that they respected each others existence and life. And for the most part believed in respect for nature. The Conquistadors were monsters and brought monstrous behavior that we still deal with today. Trump is just following in Jackson's steps trying to displace more people with native blood. Just the new displacement is happening to those with blood from the south
They're human. The best and worst behaviors of human beings are human behaviors, and we can mitigate or exacerbate that. Society needs to look in the mirror and decide whether we want to be the better or worst collective selves. Our politicians reflect back to us our collective choice. It took a long time to get here. If we don't like where we are, we'd better collectively get busy working on ourselves and setting better examples. Then we may put a healthier reflection of ourselves in leadership positions.
I had a couple encounters with a guy. Very sweet but clearly had a drinking problem. He was First Nations. He was locally famous for carving wood totems for people. He was the most harmless drunk indian... he always had a smile for me
One day he was walking and carving.....

Umm.. I don't think the Buddha taught that?
I think perhaps ego death isn't what you think it might be. It isn't relevant to living with others, it's an experience where there are no others and no self which could relate to each other:
'Leary et al.: "The first period (Chikhai Bardo) is that of complete transcendence − beyond words, beyond spacetime, beyond self. There are no visions, no sense of self, no thoughts. There are only pure awareness and ecstatic freedom from all game (and biological) involvements."' -- quoted in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_death
