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!
I see Canadian influencer page was just banned. Lasted for a whole day.
If it’s the one I was in I didn’t even see her name or picture even mentioned which is insane that it was banned!
Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I’m starting to think someone who seemed trustworthy from the OG sub might actually be involved. When a private sub, made by someone who wasn’t a former mod, that had only a handful of supposedly trusted people added to it, no mention of her, and no posts about her gets banned for reported harassment, I can’t help but feel suspicious.
Yes Im thinking this might be the case. There were only a few of us there and zero reference to any names, the previous community, literally nothing alluding to it being a replacement because it wasn’t
It could be because they were seeing it being talked about in other subs?
Those ones for sure. I’m talking about a completely private, invite only group, created by someone who was never a mod elsewhere, that had, at the time of banning, fewer than 10 invitation only members, not a single mention of her, and no conversations about her. To me, that’s odd.
I was in 2 that didn’t mention her all. I think one might of been by invite 🤷♀️ hard to keep track of how many I attempted to join yesterday 😅
Could be. Never thought of that
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to be suspicious. Especially being that it wasn’t a former mod who made it. Unless Reddit has flagged and will be watching every member? But that’s ridiculous, right?!🙃
I don’t want to start getting suspicious of each other as that’s exactly what birdie would want. I think it’s more likely Reddit flagged her name and is shutting down any new subs that reference her. They may even be watching former sub members somehow. Just my opinion! I have a different username on here but I’m willing to share my Reddit username if it comes down to that. I think there was only like 10 of us in the completely unrelated group that was shut down?
this is my theory also
Same!
It’s funny because I noticed in the days leading up to the ban, unfamiliar names making quite a few comments, but they almost seemed to mimic what others were writing to seem like they were “in”. Not like “hey we have to same opinion of this topic and her”, but almost trying too hard to fit in with the “cool kids”. I don’t know how to describe it, but it sent my spidey senses
That’s crazy
