We are thinning the herd over there and developing a method to prevent that weirdo from getting back in. She’s been posting Reddit handles along with personal instagram accounts

    i totally understand and respect this decision, the instagram person crossed a line posting people’s faces and their handles. what the actual fuck is wrong with them? we are trying to gather in PRIVATE online spaces to discuss the harms and tactics of these fucking influencers, leave us the fuck alone! get. a. life!!!! these private spaces are kind of all we have, because when we try to find accountability or even question things in public online spaces, we are silenced. there is ZERO accountability for the manipulation and exploitation these people call their career. anyways. i get it, i trust the mods of that sub they have been excellent, and i look forward to rejoining y’all whenever im let back in. for now, i do also love the lemmy community and grateful to be here with you all.

    I guess I got kicked off again. How do I get back on? I really enjoy that group but I’m not a commenter more a reader and maybe that’s why? 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Also, even though I don’t comment much, I still felt like part of the group, .. with the same thoughts and opinions about her lies, manipulation, etc., etc. … actually makes me better knowing others share my same thoughts!

    100% agree, it makes me feel so much better knowing there are thousands of other people out here who can see what we can. i’ve said it here on lemmy before and i’ll say it again - i increasingly believe there are more of us (people who see the truth behind bird and others like her) than there are actual followers. reddit gets way more action and engagement than most of bird’s posts, unless she’s showing her naked body and/or her kid (highest engagement is when she combines the two, which is completely fucked up). besides the semi-nudes and the child exploitation, im pretty sure most of her engagement comes from bots, snarkers and pervs. i also think her and her minions get off on our snarking.

    Please bear with us while myself and the other mods develop a system to prevent this absolute unhinged lunatic from skulking around our conversations. She crossed the fucking line by lining up Reddit user handles and linking person insta accounts - hard stop. Freedom of fucking speech doesn’t automatically equate to being transphobic racists. So Lauren, Michelle, Jen, whatever the fuck your name is, if you’re reading this - trust me. I will always be a step ahead.

    you’re doing the right thing shutting it down to keep everyone safe from this batshit lauren person! i appreciate the work you and the other mods put in, and i trust you! (also is she really trying to claim that people snarking on bird are transphobic and racist? like how is that even possible? bird is the whitest, most cis-het-coded bitch in guelph, and that is saying something!)

    She definitely did cross lines and I support everything you need to do so it doesn’t happen again. Thanks for all your work. She’s been lurking around all the subs for a long time gets some kind of perverse pleasure from upsetting people.

    She posted my Reddit handle and then I got booted out of the group! Double whammy!

    Maybe this is a big ask for mods but maybe there is a way to do a selfie and/or IG check verification ? I don't mind supplying those to trusted mods if it keeps our space safe.
