I have just noticed a new community that is dedicated to harrassing an influencer they don’t like. They are migrating here after being banned from Reddit.

I don’t see anything in the rules that this might run afoul of, but I wanted to make a post and ask if this is content we really want on lemmy.ca? The same influencer who got them kicked from reddit could come after lemmy.ca.

The community is !thebirdspapaya_snark@lemmy.ca

    I am all for the frivolous, childish, and irresponsible use of the internet, but that community just seems like a shit magnet. The absolute best case scenario is that nothing happens, anything else will be worse, like Lemmy.ca becoming the hub for b-list celebrity hate-clubs.

      I don’t think it goes super well either. It’s more suited for it’s own instance or an instance built for that sort of thing.

      Oh well, they’ve linked back to this thread already and admin seems to be watching. Worst case scenario is we get some entertaining reddit-esque drama when they are flounced.
