Welcome new members! Please take a second to read the rules located in the community sidebar.

We are doing our best to appeal the Reddit ban. In the meantime, we thought it might be nice to have a new safe space to snark and have made lemmy.ca our new home.

Please bear with us while we figure the new site out and please let any former TBP Reddit users know we are here!

    Lol dying at the irony of the site name. Hope to see the old snark back on Reddit. I’m PISSED they caved to her demands.

        Instead of a new snark, it would be incredibly agitating for TBP if you built a Pro Janette thread, which just provided her more evidence through all of our investigative reporting for her continual efforts to expose. We aren’t talking sh*it on her, so it wouldn’t be breaking any guidelines, just dropping a little side-by-sides, zoomed in edits, etc. Almost a muted page with no words, just photographic evidence for filing LOL

        Good thinking. I like this as a little safety zone to keep us in the loop. Also, I feel a bit nervous about us all communicating on Leeky/Shillian pages (don’t want to draw more attention to them and put them even more at risk than they probably already are) so this is great. 💗

          Even her story last night ( of course she had to be in her towel in front of the camera or bra and panties ) just so smug and that. She definitely thinks she is above.

    Happy to be back with my people! 🩵

    I made a couple comments yesterday about how our sub was no worse than many of the other snark subs that are allowed to remain on Reddit. But, snarking aside, do you know what’s even crazier? The Red Pill sub, which is a male supremacist sub that promotes toxic masculinity, misogyny, antifeminism, and r*pe culture through discussions on how to “get” women, is still allowed to remain on Reddit. It’s been quarantined since 2018, but it still exists and isn’t even that hard to find.

    Those shit stains are allowed to continue their dangerous discourse that contributes to a society where women would rather be alone with a random bear than a random man, but god forbid we snark on a privileged influencer who lied, cheated, and stole to get to where she is today. It’s a fucking joke.

      That’s disgusting and I hope the mods can use that in their appeal. We aren’t doing anything to birdie. Talking about someone isn’t harassment!!

      Definitely no worse than other snarks. Imo, it was honestly the best snark I’ve seen personally. Especially after rules were changed. There was minimal actual bullying, zero actual harassment. Mods were on top of the rare comments that did break the rules. I hardly EVER saw anything that actually violated sitewide TOS.

      I’ve seen other snarks that are actually bullying. Where appearance is made fun of, where comments are hateful and contain some form of an -ism, where some comments are downright vile. There was none of that on our sub really and the rare times it did happen, it was quickly addressed by our mods. our sub was really the most tame snark I have personally seen. Most of the comments about her appearance were not bullying but instead observations about her editing and dishonesty.

    I love how much people are calling her out on SI only asking because of Knix being the sponsor. So you were asked a few weeks ago… and Knix randomly decides to suddenly be a sponsor just weeks before the event? Then ALL the graphics, website, media kits, banners, posters, and literally everything that includes the sponsor’s names gets magically redone, approved, and printed in that tiny span of time? Yeah ok. 🙄 People aren’t stupid, but she might be if she thinks Knix wasn’t involved from the start to set this up for her.

      Just in time too - JH and AMcC subs are deleting and locking the TBP posts - which I get, but I wish they’d just let us direct people here first!

        Ya I tried to share on Alicia. I figured it wouldn’t last long but had hoped a few people would see it. They were quick to remove. I’m soured to that group after how sanctimonious they got over TBP shutting down and “this is why we do things the way we do over here” 🙄 like gtfo. There wasn’t NEAR the pressure and eyes on an Alicia Mccarvell sub compared to Birdie and her questionable affiliates.

          Same! I don’t go on that sub because they do say some pretty nasty things about her on there and name calling for sure. I have no idea why they got all sanctimonious over there but also not surprised.

    I don’t know if her arrogance has increased because of the Reddit shutdown or if it’s because she thinks she is a Super Model but it’s next level.

    Hey all, long-time Lemmy user who spotted this community on my All feed.

    So, first of all, welcome to the fediverse! I hope this isn’t information overload, but I thought it’d be useful for you if I went over a few basic terms here, what they mean, and a big overview of how all this works.

    First of all, your “instance” is lemmy.ca. An instance is kinda analogous to how an email server works. A Gmail user can email a Yahoo user just as easily as another Gmail user: same idea here. I’m on sh.itjust.works, a different instance run by a different admin, different mod team, different rules. But that doesn’t stop me seeing communities (the equivalent of subreddits) and being able to post/comment/reply/vote in any of your stuff!

    The fediverse takes this concept one step bigger. Mastodon users can see/reply/post/etc into Lemmy as well from their own accounts on very different platforms. Same with Friendica, Kbin, Diaspora, Soundstorm, Peertube, etc. All of these different platforms with different features and focuses, but we’re all connected via an underlying protocol that allows us to all talk to eachother.

    And the best part? Because of the separation of instances, no one person or organization can single-handedly make gigantic platform ruining decisions. A hypothetical Lemmy version of Spez would just end up killing their own instance as everybody migrates their user accounts to instances that aren’t run by crazy people. There’s even quite a few people who run their own tiny one person instances so they are quite literally their own admins.

    As someone who put in many many hours answering questions and getting people acclimated during Reddit’s APIocalypse, please don’t hesitate to ask if there’s something you’d like to know about Lemmy or the fediverse as a whole.

              Got some more info from that comment: https://lemmy.ca/comment/9669464

              We are a group of concerned consumers who are having public discourse over an internet influencer who is scamming her followers by posting filtered photos and by denying her obvious physical enhancements such as lip fillers and passing it off as natural and unfiltered. She also sells products on her platform that she does not disclose are sponsored content and that she makes kickbacks from the sales. In Canada, this is illegal under the Competition Act. She has also been caught plagiarizing BIPOC creator and has never addressed this, nor apologized for it, and she certainly has not compensated the BIPOC creators foe the “borrowed” content, either. She also exploits her 3 yr old for content, which is extremely concerning because the child cannot legally give consent for their image and likeness to be used for commercial gain. She also posts so much private information about her children that we know where they work, live, go to school and take part in their hobbies. This is extremely concerning from a safety perspective.

              If you want to have a look at plagiarism: https://lemmy.ca/post/22735011?scrollToComments=true

              Post where the lemmy.ca admins affirm that they don’t see a problem with the community as long as it follows the instance rules: https://lemmy.ca/post/22638028?scrollToComments=true

              To me the main interest in the community is seeing people who are completely out of the usual Lemmy demographic learning how to use the platform (and they seem to adapt quite well). If you don’t care about this or about the topic itself, it’s probably better to block the community and call it a day.

        For any mobile Lemmy users there are all sorts of flavours to try (keep in mind there are a handful that have gone out of development).

        The same is true for webusers there is a lot of choice over the default. For reddit veterans hopping in, may I recommend mlmym (https://old.lemmy.ca) to help you ease into things. The Alexandrite frontend (https://alex.lemmy.ca) in “Cards” mode mimics newreddit somewhat, minus all the reddit ads and bullshit.

        @[email protected] I hope this may help you too.

      I think publicly advertising it could’ve been the issue. All it takes is Sarah finding out the new sub and reporting it. Even one single report could be enough to get it banned, as making replacement groups does violate reddit TOS.

      I am curious to see if a totally obviously non replacement sub, presented as a casual discussion space for our members, would get the hammer…I’m so pissed off by all of this, and upset. Our community was very valuable to me
