Lol dying at the irony of the site name. Hope to see the old snark back on Reddit. I’m PISSED they caved to her demands.

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!

-No overly vulgar language.
-No advertisement of any kind
-No duplicate posts
We are starting a private page back up, but wanted a backup in case it gets removed (which I hear is highly likely).
Instead of a new snark, it would be incredibly agitating for TBP if you built a Pro Janette thread, which just provided her more evidence through all of our investigative reporting for her continual efforts to expose. We aren't talking sh*it on her, so it wouldn't be breaking any guidelines, just dropping a little side-by-sides, zoomed in edits, etc. Almost a muted page with no words, just photographic evidence for filing LOL
That would be so perfect! Good idea!
Good thinking. I like this as a little safety zone to keep us in the loop. Also, I feel a bit nervous about us all communicating on Leeky/Shillian pages (don’t want to draw more attention to them and put them even more at risk than they probably already are) so this is great. 💗
So funny !!! She is so cocky and arrogant thinking she has one upped everyone.
Oh I know her posts today have the “I am the winner” attitude!!!
Even her story last night ( of course she had to be in her towel in front of the camera or bra and panties ) just so smug and that. She definitely thinks she is above.
Happy to be back with my people! 🩵
I made a couple comments yesterday about how our sub was no worse than many of the other snark subs that are allowed to remain on Reddit. But, snarking aside, do you know what’s even crazier? The Red Pill sub, which is a male supremacist sub that promotes toxic masculinity, misogyny, antifeminism, and r*pe culture through discussions on how to “get” women, is still allowed to remain on Reddit. It’s been quarantined since 2018, but it still exists and isn’t even that hard to find.
Those shit stains are allowed to continue their dangerous discourse that contributes to a society where women would rather be alone with a random bear than a random man, but god forbid we snark on a privileged influencer who lied, cheated, and stole to get to where she is today. It’s a fucking joke.
That’s disgusting and I hope the mods can use that in their appeal. We aren’t doing anything to birdie. Talking about someone isn’t harassment!!
I love how much people are calling her out on SI only asking because of Knix being the sponsor. So you were asked a few weeks ago… and Knix randomly decides to suddenly be a sponsor just weeks before the event? Then ALL the graphics, website, media kits, banners, posters, and literally everything that includes the sponsor’s names gets magically redone, approved, and printed in that tiny span of time? Yeah ok. 🙄 People aren’t stupid, but she might be if she thinks Knix wasn’t involved from the start to set this up for her.
I RAN here!!!! I had to read the post on Reddit twice I thought the lemmy.ca was a joke lol
Just in time too - JH and AMcC subs are deleting and locking the TBP posts - which I get, but I wish they'd just let us direct people here first!
Me too! I was like what is Lemmy??? Now I’m wondering how long it’s been around…never heard of it until today 🤣
I hadn’t either. I pretty much googled ‘best Reddit alternative’ and here we are! ;)
A lot of us have been here from the Reddit protests last summer. A good number of people just didn't go back to Reddit, or didn't go back in the same way, and instead we've been working on setting up something better on this side :)
Feel free to explore and ask questions, you'll find that people are happy (and excited) to explain more
I don’t know if her arrogance has increased because of the Reddit shutdown or if it’s because she thinks she is a Super Model but it’s next level.
Hey all, long-time Lemmy user who spotted this community on my All feed.
So, first of all, welcome to the fediverse! I hope this isn't information overload, but I thought it'd be useful for you if I went over a few basic terms here, what they mean, and a big overview of how all this works.
First of all, your "instance" is lemmy.ca. An instance is kinda analogous to how an email server works. A Gmail user can email a Yahoo user just as easily as another Gmail user: same idea here. I'm on sh.itjust.works, a different instance run by a different admin, different mod team, different rules. But that doesn't stop me seeing communities (the equivalent of subreddits) and being able to post/comment/reply/vote in any of your stuff!
The fediverse takes this concept one step bigger. Mastodon users can see/reply/post/etc into Lemmy as well from their own accounts on very different platforms. Same with Friendica, Kbin, Diaspora, Soundstorm, Peertube, etc. All of these different platforms with different features and focuses, but we're all connected via an underlying protocol that allows us to all talk to eachother.
And the best part? Because of the separation of instances, no one person or organization can single-handedly make gigantic platform ruining decisions. A hypothetical Lemmy version of Spez would just end up killing their own instance as everybody migrates their user accounts to instances that aren't run by crazy people. There's even quite a few people who run their own tiny one person instances so they are quite literally their own admins.
As someone who put in many many hours answering questions and getting people acclimated during Reddit's APIocalypse, please don't hesitate to ask if there's something you'd like to know about Lemmy or the fediverse as a whole.
I feel like an old person trying to work out this place but I’m here and dedicated. Let’s go 👊
There are a few small differences between Reddit and Lemmy, but you'll find a lot of excited people here that are happy to help clarify things. Welcome :)
I have been in a MOOD all day and the new Reddit sub being deleted within hours has me pissed. Is there a mole in the group?!?! Wtf.
Here from Reddit!!! Birdie has become a very cocky one since being home from her big debut as a swimsuit model 🤮
Whew being bounced from group to group over on the R site, and then being so confused at the name of this platform. Like it took me a hot minute to figure it all out. 😭😭😭
Grateful to the Mod who sent me the link. 🫶🏽
Here from Reddit. So annoyed at the lengths we have to go to for free speech.
Here from Reddit ✌️
I made it!! Lol
queerlyyoursamanda also started a CDNInfluencersIRL as well. Not many there but still up for now. Hopefully mods win the appeal. But seriously, why is she so bothered by it. Does it not look worse for her fighting it so hard?
Welcome aboard. Love seeing new niche communities, especially snarky ones
Here from Reddit . Her posts today are crazy.
She’s acting so bizarre. Her voice is different, her mannerisms are different. I wonder whose personality she’s taking on.
Here from reddit! Thank you for doing the work to het us all back together!
I'm so glad to see a new place we can convene. She doesn't deserve to get off that easy ✌️
There is a new private Reddit group The Birds a Liar-a link to request to join is in the Jillian Harris snark post “we are alive”. Apparently previous pages tried to cut and paste the rules from the old site and this one is brand new. We’ll see what happens. Good to have this “Lemmy” as a back up.
Kind of backfires when you try to take down a reddit sub and end up with MORE content about yourself out in the world, not less...😆
And it’s gone. Glad we have Lemmy.
Wow,she’s making us work for it, but I’m glad I’m here. Thank you for getting us here!
Yeah f u Reddit ! Can’t believe it got taken down. We need to let everyone know about this page.
Gotta let Janette know somehow too
The name of this site! Hahaha oh man 😅 So glad we have somewhere to convene. I missed us! 💗
Tattle also has a papaya thread although it's quite dead since it is a predominantly UK site.
Let’s go! The more we are out there the more she gets exposed. Reddit is one site and one site only they want to play this game, let’s all play! I’m heading over to tattle now.
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?!?!
