Someone on Reddit has been saying someone has been able to report new members without proof and remove their threads by claiming to be the people they’ve reported. Out of curiosity, I tested this out. Turns out it checks out. For some reason, admins have allowed it to be possible. I found out my threads have been removed this way, so beware if you’re banned from somewhere or your threads are removed. This is the same person who thinks she can compete with Fedilore on Tumblr after being banned from Fedilore’s instance for signing up for KiwiFarms in order to prevent her friends from being backbitten on there before going on YouTube to complain about it.

    I think it’s super weird that some people have a r/Lemmy to discuss Lemmy drama and tech support Lemmy questions on Reddit (with very low engagement), some people do a tumblr and some do YouTube videos to gather evidence and expose certain users. That’s just wild.

      OP’s referring to this and modlogs say it’s their alt. I read OP’s post multiple times and from what I gather, OP is boasting about getting other people’s threads removed out of spite for the Fediverse because they got banned from the lemmy.ca instance on their Call Me Leni account.

        I’m not seeing any post or comment removals in that modlog other than the usual stuff and things due to other specific reasons. It doesn’t seem to be connected to what OP is referring to. At least I can’t see it. Also I’m not sure about that being another alt account. Maybe true, IDK. The writing style isn’t the same. If it’s one of the alts, that’s done well.

          Sorry if I was unclear, I was referring to OP mentioning that Leni had been banned from Fedilore’s instance, which is lemmy.ca. Modlog shows that Leni had been banned from lemmy.ca (Fedilore’s instance) for being a KiwiFarms user. OP had been inactive for 3 months until the same day Leni got banned from lemmy.ca, in which this was their first post after 3 months: How many instances have you been banned from?

          In that post OP asserts in the comments that Leni was banned from several instances for being autistic. Leni was not banned for being autistic. Leni banned themselves from their own community using their ShiverMeTimbers alt for reasons relating to autism to try and discredit the existing modlogs: https://lemmy.ca/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&modId=14969838

                Sure. I was a bit sloppy phrasing this. I meant it’s undisputed that these allegations exist and the ban happened. Not whether they’re true or not. That kind of information isn’t contained in the modlog, nor do I have the means to research this. I meant pointing me at the modlog doesn’t really help, since that’s not the disputed information.

            Those mods (and admins) could ban you too, especially considering you are mass-downvoting people via alts. An admin had to point it out to you. I was inactive because I forgot I existed, and I copied that question from someone on Reddit. It has nothing to do with someone else’s ban (the dates don’t even line up).

            There’s nothing that says what ShiverMeTimbers isn’t true. Why would you claim to speak for anyone if ShiverMeTimbers cannot? Lemmy did shut down an all-autism instance. This was before your time as it was before the time of all the trolls roaming around. It’s a sour point for many. Did either of them sign up for KiwiFarms for protective or sadistic purposes? Who knows. I do see indication Leni is being protective of KiwiFarms victims on there (which I assume puts her on the line).

              Nothing in the modlogs says that Leni was banned for being autistic, the sole exception being Leni banning themselves on their ShiverMeTimbers alt, where they used autism in the reason box as an attempt to discredit the existing modlogs.

              Did either of them sign up for KiwiFarms for protective or sadistic purposes?

              Users have to agree to a security question that includes slurs against marginalised demographics before they can sign up on KiwiFarms. The site makes no effort to hide what it’s goal is. Leni referred to people on there as “lolcows”. They also said that someone dislikes the site because they’re probably from two demographics who see themselves at odds with it, which was very obviously referring to both autistic and transgender people, since those are the people the site targets the most.

                You keep talking about autism, but all I see is a URL linking to an article. It looks like the person who banned her is using it as a cue. The modlogs have been wrong before, with or without Leni or the people who everyone claims are her alts.

                Users have to agree to a security question that includes slurs against marginalised demographics before they can sign up on KiwiFarms. The site makes no effort to hide what it’s goal is.

                Alright, first off, how would you know this if you are banned from KiwiFarms on account of being English? You strike me as a liar now. Considering you’re the one here who actually acts like they would be on KiwiFarms, including with downvoting people using alts, I am beginning to have suspicions about you.

                Second, I opened up the page for it out of curiosity. At least on my device, what you describe isn’t there.

                Third, “lolcow” isn’t always a slur. It comes from “lol” and “cow”, and combined, it makes a word that means “someone you can depend on to be humorous”. The “cow” part refers to “milking” as a metaphor. The word “lolcow” is used as a part of the rules of Anonymous.

                You have claimed before you are a part of Anonymous while not being on KiwiFarms but just now proved the reverse is true.

                  I’ve never been a KiwiFarms user. I know what I know about the site from reading up on it, after the suicide of Near/Byuu, whose death was directly caused through harassment from KiwiFarms. The fact you jumped straight to me being a liar rather than considering this is making me think you didn’t create this thread to have a honest discussion with others.

                  You have claimed before you are a part of Anonymous

                  I’ve never claimed this either.

                  Please don’t put words in my mouth.

                  The modlogs have been wrong before

                  One or two mods, sure, I could believe it. But we aren’t talking about just one or two mods, we’re talking dozens of different mod and admins banning Leni, all on different instances. As an example, the modlogs aren’t wrong about Leni’s Nazi apologia since they commented 50+ times in this thread, defending both the AfD and Elon’s Nazi salutes.

          It isn’t true. I’m yet another person mistaken for them, right after it happened to one of the other Ask Lemmy mods (go ask mod Candyman337, he will tell you about this).

            You claimed in this comment that Leni was banned from multiple instances for being autistic, which I have proven to be a lie here. I don’t understand why you would lie about this. If you’re interested in a honest discussion here, I strongly advise you to not make claims which can easily be proven to be false.

            Leni was banned from multiple instances for being a KiwiFarms user with a history of abusing people, bigotry, and Nazi apologia.

                True, that’s why on Lemmy, users can’t as easily lie about the reason they’re banned as they can on other sites. It’s also possible to see which mod banned whom.

                  Hence why you keep editing your comments to make it seem like we’re talking about something we’re not? On top of putting words in peoples’ mouths, as I was referring to you claiming I did anything like that (or that any of those people are me, that what you showed resembles proof, or that you speak for anyone here).

            Yeah, since you’re responding here, that’s enough for me. I don’t need to ask anyone else. I already said I doubt it’s the same person due to the writing style. I retract the unfounded scepticism concerning that user account.

        Sure, and everything in the modlogs is true I suppose /s

        You’re already on thin ice for being a downvote troll, why not quit while you’re ahead? The only thing you just said that’s true is the part where you said you read what I said multiple times.

      As much as I would love to just use Lemmy, it’s because you can’t ask a malfunctioning website why it’s malfunctioning. It’s also why admins can be contacted on Matrix. Which would be fine if they double-checked things.

        But is it really better to launch your personal blog on Reddit or Tumblr with an audience of 6 people, who don’t really know what they’re talking about? I mean go ahead, but I’d pick some lax community or server here. Any of the unwarranted drama posts here get more attention before they get deleted than that stuff.

        Nevermind.
