I received a private message on Reddit telling me to come here so I’m assuming they’re going one by one getting people over here..

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!

MODERATORS
Same! Do they still have access to the whole list of former sub members? I wasn’t sure if they were just messaging the more frequent commenters or not.
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
That’s awesome! I hope they’re allowed to reach them all. I still think we should post on the other subs just in case they don’t check their messages, or even to recruit new people!
I love and respect their dedication
From past experience, posting Lemmy links to any sub would usually get at least your comment removed (and you potentially banned) for "self-promotion"
That's sad, but Reddit is pretty protective about not talking about any other forum outside of it.
Darn, you’re probably right. I’m starting to realize Reddit really isn’t that great!
It's a mainstream social media which went IPO a few months ago, they are trying to keep people around as much as possible so that they can feed them ads.
A bit sad indeed!
You can ask them to message you privately! Then give them the link.
LOL I see my snark to snake typo but I’m not correcting it as it’s so apt 💀.
Maybe just private message people on Reddit if you see them asking about TBP. I ended up here by reading through comments over there, so hopefully others will too.
I’ve been asking people to message me and have been giving this link privately. I’m always worried it’s going to be someone that is in her camp though.
I think she’d have a lot harder time taking down this page. Admin that I’ve seen posting on here have been supportive thus far and said we aren’t in violation of their rules. Lemmy as a whole also seems more protective of freedom of speech than Reddit.
I think it's safe to say they're already here and always have been, playing along so as to remain under the radar. That's my feeling anyway.
Reading this post again, you can actually maybe try to send a modmail to the other snark subs.
If those moderation teams are tired of people talking about Sarah there, they might allow you to post about this new community.
Worst case scenario, they say no and at least you tried
Yes! I’ll reach out to the mod here and see if she’s willing. At least one of the other subs are private so the chances of it being reported to Reddit should be lower.
Good luck!
I tried to share on Alicia’s sub right when we moved. They removed it almost instantly
That isn’t friendly territory
Unfortunately
Yikes! That’s ridiculous. The mod on JH’s said she’d share when TBP page is up so maybe she’d be more willing?
Sorry to hear
