I have just noticed a new community that is dedicated to harrassing an influencer they don't like. They are migrating here after being banned from Reddit.

I don't see anything in the rules that this might run afoul of, but I wanted to make a post and ask if this is content we really want on lemmy.ca? The same influencer who got them kicked from reddit could come after lemmy.ca.

The community is !thebirdspapaya_snark@lemmy.ca

From the posts I've seen so far, it feels like the community is stating that they only exist to criticize what they see as a misleading influencer, but to me it all comes off as bullying/harrassment.

If they want to encourage change of some sort they could try and do that, but that's not what the posts are encouraging, it feels like generic woman hate targeted at a single woman.

This was an interesting read and explains pretty well the issues with her. Not as black and white as they make it out I'm sure but neither was I correct about it being a simple hate group.

I had read that post already. Even if there are things that she's doing that isn't great, it doesn't really justify a group of people circlejerking hate about them.

Oh but it's juicy and entertaining as all hell. Supporters of papaya woman have found Lemmy now. I am looking forward to further developments. This is much better than the usual tankie drama and it's local to .ca! They have a reporter involved apparently. Delicious.
