Hello everyone,

As you may know, I got mod rights to help with the management of the weekly pinned post as other mods haven’t been here for a while.

As it is usually better practice to have multiple active mods (and as to be honest, I’m not really an expert on the topic of this community 😅 ), I am looking for additional mods for this community.

Mods are in charge of managing disrespectful comments, which I don’t see much often here, so that shouldn’t be too much work.

Mods are also in charge of pinning/unpinning weekly threads, but I can manage this for now.

If you would like to become a mod, feel free to comment below. I don’t have a lot of criteria in mind, the modlog is public, so I guess being a regular commenter of the community should be enough.

See you in the comments!

  Perfect, you are now a mod! You now have a small shield icon on the top right that allows you to see reports (none at the moment)
  
  You can also edit the community description, pin and unpin posts. Let me know if you have any questions!

Hello new Lemmy friends!

Word on the street tells us our community is regularly making it the all page. While this is very cool news to hear, we can see how the sudden emergence of our posts in your feed might feel jarring and probably raises some questions. And also how, without knowing the backstory, our community might appear less than virtuous, so here’s a very brief introduction which hopefully will clear a few things up.

The woman we’re discussing is a body positive influencer and media personality who has gained fame and wealth by lying, manipulating, exploiting her children for content, plagiarizing BIPOC creators and blaming her BIPOC content editor for it (thereby ruining her career), among other things. Her fraudulent behavior is no different (I’d argue worse) from the likes of Jay Shetty (google him if you don’t know who he is or what he did). She’s the latest in a long line of grifting influencers who are abusing their power, taking advantage of their position and exploiting their followers. The difference is that she’s Canadian. Our laws around social media and advertising aren’t as clear (and where they are she’s disobeyed them), add to that, our mainstream media has protected her from those who’ve tried to expose her grift and silenced/intimidated anyone who’s tried to speak out.

Our Reddit sub was taken down due to reports of copyright infringement, which is unfounded and categorically untrue as no one ever tried to steal her work and pass it off as their own. The mods have made an appeal. While at first glance it may seem like we’re just “shitting on her” the sub has been more devoted to investigation and posting proof of her lies than just bitching for the sake of bitching. The reality is that she’s hurt, manipulated and let down a lot of people. She stole intellectual property and employment, caused mental distress and has repeatedly told lies to boost engagement and profit off her audience, so people are understandably upset that their voices are being silenced.

We’re grateful to have been welcomed so kindly by so many of you, and to those sticking around to watch the drama unfold, we’re glad to have you!
