Ahh okay cool, thank you. Lots to learn here and I’m loving it 😁

Ahh okay! So when you see the logo does that mean that people from different instances are contributing but it’s all connected?

the move was posted on one of the other snark subs, so we’re findable

Gotcha, thanks so much for sharing this info!

She whaaat?? Any news pieces about this still around or was it scrubbed?

Riiight, bc these ppl don’t want to actually contribute anything to the world they just want to be famous

Totally. And neither had I but you’re right, podcasting actually lends really well to it. Oversharing is a classic from the manipulators handbook but it’s infuriating to see the degree to which influencers are monetizing it. So gross.

Thanks again for helping us navigate the transition! Was just curious, what’s the little rainbow thingy mean?

This “become a real estate investor” wankery fills me with so much rage. I don’t know who is more of a pox on society, influencers or these airbnb landlords driving up the price of rent and property values, increasing the need for affordable housing, feeding sprawl and development of green space and developers building in the green belt. I tried to have a convo with one once about how problematic airbnb was and the greed of them was so compulsive it was disgusting. It’s a sickness, really.

Also, this video is so MLM’y — Scotty is totally giving me Tom Cruise in Magnolia vibes in this clip. He’s looks like he’s about to sprout a greasy little pony tail.

And if I you zoom in you can see glitches and a white edge line down the right side of her leg

Aaaahh gotcha, okay great thanks!

The one on the left reminds me of looking into one of those wonky funhouse mirrors. Her legs don’t even look real

You bet! And ya I feel the same. There’s a simplicity to Lemmy life that I could really get used to

So I have a question…when I tap on the mods user link I’m taken to a page where there’s an option to send them a message. Will this not reach them?

I can definitely see how that would be jarring and how, without knowing the backstory, it might look bad and be frustrating for existing Lemmy folks.

She’s an 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 blatantly 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 claims of “copyright infringement”, which is unfounded because no one has 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 “shitting on her” the sub has been more devoted to investigation, posting proof of her lies, etc than just snark for snarks sake. She’s hurt, manipulated and let down a lot of people, stole intellectual property and employment from people, and they’re understandably upset that their voices have been silenced.

Check out the sidebar

I think they might. I can’t find the thread now but I remember reading a post from one of the mods back when one of the new subs was created and they were talking about having to go though 6200 user names

Yes totally! It can stretch the skin of your lips out and eventually they look more lined. No shade to anyone who gets lip filler bc I know there are some incredible filler artistes out there but, same, it’s the one feature I’ve always felt nervous to mess with

lol 😂 and ya I agree, it’s a hard pivot, esp bc it seems like she’s got a lot of her identity wrapped up in the current narrative. But at the same time I wouldn’t put it past her. Can you imagine the headlines, the uproar?! Not to mention the engagement 🤔🤩
