I split this issue because of content and length - part b has the general and fandom-specific meta.
For this part, I tried to narrow down the posts to discussions originating on IJ or helpful summaries/roundups, to avoid repetitions.
The first post to draw attention to it was lucario's entry in 07refugees, Seems like fandom is starting to turn on itself. It basically consisted of a link to Dejana's LJ post, but sparked some discussion.
carlanime later shared information that the FH wiki article had been removed, and adds some thoughts on privacy.
Eventually, elfwreck updated metametameta with a link roundup and chronological summary of the events.

randomsome1: Math is ugly. : "Is fandom massively spazzing out over ff.net, or the membership dues paid to an essentially dead organization, or any of the other half-dozen things that are making money off fans/fanworks? No, they'd currently rather be piling on Fanhistory for being a dotcom, for having a single ad per page, and for Laura H. trying to market the thing."
