Welcome new members! Please take a second to read the rules located in the community sidebar.

We are doing our best to appeal the Reddit ban. In the meantime, we thought it might be nice to have a new safe space to snark and have made lemmy.ca our new home.

Please bear with us while we figure the new site out and please let any former TBP Reddit users know we are here!

The name of the site was NOT the reason the sub was moved here. I took the time to look into what forum would be most similar to Reddit, and Lemmy came very highly recommended. Also - this is a Canadian-run site, which I felt was appropriate considering TBP is Canadian. And since our country seems to turn a blind eye to her antics, I thought this would be a good way to get more eyes on what she is doing.

That being said, I will remove the irony comment from my post. Also, if the consensus around here is that this site was chosen with malicious intent, I will happily delete the community. However, I will leave it up to someone else to find an alternative and moderate it. I didn’t HAVE to set this all up, but I took the time to do it because I feel what we are doing here is important and hate that we were censored yet again, only now on Reddit. Being a mod is not easy and if someone feels better suited, be my guest.

Babynona, please remove the part of your comment explaining the name link, or your post will be removed for breaking the Minor’s Right to Privacy rule.

Thank you! Will it be difficult for Americans to use this platform? I don’t know how many of the Redditors were Canadians or Americans.

I am in the US and it’s working just fine for me! I really hated the interface initially and felt lost and confused, but I downloaded the Thunder app and it made it a lot easier to navigate.

I think that might have been the only person who was offended by the name. Appreciate you!

I never used this site but I DEFINITELY remember seeing a lot of people on Reddit suggest this site last summer when Reddit had the API changes and lots of subs went on strike or whatever. The name is absolutely a coincidence and it has nothing to do with our community or TBP.

I think that comment is ridiculous! Anyone with a brain knows you wouldn’t have done something like what you’ve been accused! This group, for the most part, bends over backwards to protect those kids. I’m really sorry someone went after you like that because it was not called for. Thanks for setting this up since many need this outlook for their own peace of mind.

Isn’t a large part of discord audio or video chat? That’s not accessible to people who are deaf/hard of hearing. I’m glad I can still participate here (I’m DHH).

The official instance for photon is phtn.app, which lets you use any instance, so I recommend sharing that if you’re going to recommend photon!

Thanks for doing this. While I was trying to figure this out I ran across a post to lemmy from a user mark about this new community coming here and how we were “harassing” an influencer.

Do people know what harassment really is for fucks sake?!?!

Reddit has given up caring about the users and is more interested in catering to brands who can provide money or engagement. Welcome to lemmy, don’t worry about all the star trek memes. They will make sense after a while.

There are way more famous people whose assholes get torn up way bigger than SNL’s. It shows she truly has nothing else going on in her life that she sits and constantly looks at the snark surrounding her, when more famous people are too busy to care. Her shit smells more than she’s willing to admit.

Took me a few days but I’m here. Could not figure out why I couldn’t sign up, then finally realized I kept missing the prompt that my username was already taken 🤦‍♀️

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!

**all posts are alleged.

Rules:

-Please follow Lemmy content guidelines. See https://lemmy.ca/

-No snarking on the character or appearance of any of the children. This is a site dedicated to Sarah Landry.

  • Posting an individual’s phone number or address on the internet.
  • Releasing information about an individual’s family, place of employment, or other private documents.
  • Encouraging others to use released information to harass an individual.

-Comments Regarding Mental Health: Jokes or Snide remarks about mental health or unaliving oneself will not be tolerated under any circumstances. No armchair diagnosing.

-No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, body shaming or other ism/bigotry.

-No commenting with the sole purpose of being rude/insulting: while criticism/debate is welcome on the page, being purposefully mean, insulting and rude is not.

-No brigading/incitement of mass harassment. Do not post links to affiliate sites, or incite members of the sub to brigade against TBP/related parties (this includes brands).

-Fact check and do your homework: Make sure to research before posting. If you are posting photos or videos that are filtered/photoshopped, make sure it is blatantly obvious. No rumours. no speculations (example Ozempic use).

-No overly vulgar language.
