Agreed. She’s shown us she’s just not that smart and I don’t think the people around her are either.

I’m also really sus about the dude here on Lenny who flagged us immediately as soon as our group appeared. I think there’s a mole among us. Maybe a lurker. Idanno.

If I may, Lemmy tends to be pretty quiet (the site is much smaller than Reddit, 50k active users monthly total), so that's why new communities with activity such as yours tend to be spotted quite fast

let me be a devil advocate, as someone that's here since a year ago

lemmy is small, too small, we had trolls attacking us since the start, DDos attacks, even fucking CP material, we have a lot of problematic instances full of trolls too(that lemmy.ca is disconnected thanksfully) so yeah, we are afraid of a bunch of people coming suddenly and making problems, maybe a bit to much afraid, but lemmy.ca admins aren't going to suddenly delete you all, at least i never heard of something like that happening, so just keep it civil, i'm not an admin btw, and welcome!

I think you’re right. Hopefully we can grow this one so the same thing happens.

You’re right that the vast majority of sub members were probably women who were blocked or otherwise made to feel unwelcome by her, whether it was for a good reason or not (I myself was blocked for liking a comment saying she looked different on her IG…that’s it). Has she ever considered that her actions drive people further away and make us feel even more justified in our dislike of her? Nice people simply don’t have thousands of people snarking on them.

Queen Panties has some skeletons in the closet. I’m sure of it and she had a hand in this - even if it was just advice

Fair enough! Maybe Joanna and SNL joined forces? SNL probably clued her in that less than flattering things were being shared about her too (rightfully).

Agreed that I don’t think the sub was in violation of anything. The mods at minimum should have received a warning.

Haha. I hope I posted this on the actual snark page! If not I’ll remove it. Still getting used to this platform 🙃

I just started a Q&A thread (I’m newish too). It seemed like a better solution as there’s a LOT to sift through and summarize and didn’t want to put that labor on one person.

Very skimming the surface tldr (again, I’m new to this too): the purpose of the snark is to discuss the lies, fraudulent behavior of a Body positivity influencer who’s used filters/body tune (but denies it), stolen the work of bipoc women and been protected from criticism by sponsors/members of the media. Also exploits her kids for content. TIL pics of her and her kids have shown up on porn sites and apparently she’s well aware that her content is enjoyed by ”unintended” demographics. Ew.

Themselves not herself. It’s been a long day 🤣

Hey, welcome to Lemmy, please enjoy your stay.

You may find you or users here in general get downvoted more often in the comments than over in Reddit. We don't have any vote fuzzing algorithms, and some client interfaces by default don't hide scores below a threshold which can cause bandwagoning. Also, many people have strong convictions/opinions over your average internet user, which is kinda the reason why we're here to begin with (and you may be as well). Comment karma means nothing here, just take it in stride.

You don't have to agree with everybody. All I ask is you that you help make this a place that is fun and interesting to discuss with people who have the some of the same and some different ideas than you, and so please report trolls, spammers and intentional flamebait. Thanks.

There's immediately 3 down votes every new thread. I'm gonna guess they are 1. Sarah 2. Alicia and 3. the neighbor lol

One of the more regular lemmy users commented above that our posts are showing up on the home feed so maybe that’s why.

It was definitely the mass reporting. The original Toronto Snark page got banned for a massive amount of Copyright reports. I think they (they being the group of 4 that is the main focus) all banded together to mass report and then the page was gone. If there was a huge influx of harassment reports on the papaya page they probably just decided to ban it, not investigation or warnings. It's like the Reddit loophole you can use to get rid of pages that you don't like.

Edit to add: It is weird though because brigading of any kind is against Reddit's terms and they were definitely brigading.

No!! That’s a hot take!

The Reddit reason was harassment I believe.

I don’t understand this as she posted the photos and it was well known they were hers (her name was usually visible)? I guess maybe the ones users made could have been in violation but I’m not sure - SO many subs on Reddit should be shut down if that is the case. Regardless, mods should have been given a warning and chance to rectify the situation. This seems to be the more common process from what I’ve heard.

This is very interesting
