Not a fan of it by any means, but it shit down ~11 days ago and no one mentioned it.

Every link to something on the instance redirects to this: https://imgur.com/XpxDJTg

Since lemmy posts are links, every image post is now that image.

The admin (local account on lemm.ee https://lemm.ee/u/hamid@vegantheoryclub.org ) said it was because of the harassment culture on lemmy (https://lemm.ee/post/64686772 ), and blamed sunshine and beaver for doing something? (https://lemm.ee/post/63664605/20610349 -- the post this is in reply to is gone, but the comment is in the local copy of the person's profile.)

Anyone know what happened?

Holy shit. This comment section is a train wreck.

possible Spoiler for Season FinaleI think all of you are just alt accounts from one and the same person who initially wanted to make Lemmy look more populated to draw in more users. But with time sanity went belly up and now the split personalities are fighting against each other.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago

You are also one of the personalities.

I took it down because I couldn't find an admin to take it over. The admin I appointed to didn't stick with Lemmy, because Lemmy is wack.

Every time I would participate I would be thought-policed by an unhinged stalker @Sunshine@lemmy.ca and I am grew tired of being followed and am extremely angry and upset about this thread.

I am sending DMCA/GDPR/PIPEDA requests now to all the Lemmy admins and the Internet archive to purge the data from Vegan Theory Club.

Sunshine is unhinged. She disagreed with my request for feedback about defederating from SJW and decided to use an alt to post about me in tankiejerk - we didn't actually end up defederating.

She then spent months following me around different parts of lemmy screenshotting me to post in harassment communities like meanwhileongrad and this community to police my thought crimes. She goes on to manipulate the threads and the votes in these threads using an army of alts, many were pulled by a python script I wrote to get the communities they mod and look at the other moderators and tying them to the voting accounts.

I wrote about it here

While doing this she created alts like aqua@vegantheoryclub.org and aqua@lemmy.vg to participate in my communities anyway after being banned.

Its creepy as fuck, so by the time I finally had enough of Lemmy I wrote a "pro hamas" post on a week old thread to see if they were still following me around to post on the various lemmy harassment communities and within one hour they posted it to meanwhileongrad. By the way, they are talking to themselves on that same comm here posting with their alts https://lemm.ee/post/65494823/20832743 this behavior is weird and unsettling.

Another user has collected the receipts https://lemmy.zip/post/21904442/16833845 @jerkface@lemmy.ca @PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat

My internet friend toomanypancakes is not an "emmissary" of VTC, VTC no longer exists. Your behavior Sunshine is creepy and upsets me and I just want you to STOP. Delete the screenshots. Stop posting here, LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.

I will not use this account again, I have moved on from Lemmy but this was brought to my attention. I would like this thread to be removed and I am asking the admins of lemmy.ca @Shadow@lemmy.ca to please remove this post. I do not want this to continue. I do not want users psychoanalyzing me. I just want this to stop and for everyone to leave me alone. I removed the instance so I am asking as nice as I know how at this point. You can email me for verification at hamid@vegantheoryclub.org.

@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works please DM me an email address to send a formal request to purge my data from your servers if you would be so kind. I tried to fill out the form listed on your whois.

I am sorry that I, an Iranian born mizrahi, doesn't have right-think for the users of Lemmy. I regret using Lemmy and being subject to the culture of bullying and harassment here. I may say and think things that aren't approved by American western chauvinists, I do not deserve to be followed around, screenshotted and mocked because of wrong-think. If this is how Lemmy is, I want no part of it.

Feel free to write whatever harassment you want here. I will not be reading this again. I hope this thread is removed and I would like to exercise my rights to be forgotten or at the very least not highlighted and harassed by lemmy users. I do not have any other alts or use Lemmy anymore. I have a job, family and real-life friends to occupy myself with. Good bye.

[-] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 17 points 2 days ago

This is so bizarre. None of these links back up any of these accusations. All the fire and passion of someone who is proving their case is there, but nothing is actually proved. There's a claim, and then a screenshot / link, but the link never lines up with the thing being claimed. It's all just either another thread full of accusations or else some random Lemmy-drama that isn't related to the claim.

I would ask for detailed proof (What is the output of the python script? You say it proved that Sunshine was using an army of alts, can I see the proof it created? That seems like that would be good to include as long as you're doing screenshots and etc.), but you say you're quitting Lemmy, so I guess there's not a point.

[-] Joeyowlhouse@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 day ago

Imgur link is broken and the links are broken too. Anyone got archives?

[-] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Got shut down after this post on MOG was made:

Which he (Hamid) responded to with this:

This was the last comment he made:

I think I am for real I’m done with Lemmy lol

This is the funniest part of the harassment thread

This comment is talking about Sunshine/Beaver who came to my instance after that. I had nothing to do with it 🤷‍♀️

tl;dr: he was sick of getting into lemmy drama

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

Hey, the picture changed

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 days ago

I don't blame them, lemmy drama is shockingly toxic as hell. I don't blame them removing the instance and retiring as admin.

[-] fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

Lemmy as a whole feels very toxic, i don't blame him at all and wish him the best.

It can be tiring at times, but it's unavoidable with a federated model.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Its unavoidable on centralised platforms too.

[-] Blaze@piefed.social 7 points 2 days ago

Oh, indeed. Ironically, it's much less visible because it's silenced by the admins.

  1. Makes deliberately inflammatory comment to make a point
  2. People are mildly rude in response to the inflammatory comment
  3. HOW DARE YOU, I'M LITERALLY CRYING, I'M GOING HOME FOREVER

1 is fine. 2 is fine. That's how things work. I have no idea, though, how someone who reacts with 3 expects to be able to manage ordinary day-to-day life. Let alone weigh in on a situation of death and destruction and geopolitical crime against humanity. Like, if this is your bar for what makes you quit, your movement is going to be pretty fucking easy for the establishment to destroy.

I'm not saying that everyone needs to toughen up and put up with whatever treatment they receive. I'm just saying that, in particular since it looks like the #2 response was actually quite a bit milder than the #1 inflammatory original post, the DARVO reaction featured in #3 seems kind of needlessly extra.

We can do worse: make it irrelevant.

Admin always wanted it to be a small instance for friends, he was pushed into federating by sunshine, who is beaver and several others as well by my understanding. Then the political situation in the US continued deteriorating, and between the risks, the stalking, and all the general harassment that comes from operating a public vegan community he saw no benefits to keeping it up and shut it down.

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 9 points 3 days ago

Really? because I saw them mention they made it because of hexbear.

Rules

  1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
  2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
  3. The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.


Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
