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?

        I mean it’s a pretty influential instance since that’s where the lead developers reside. It would be pretty normal for everyone using lemmy to have them “live rent free in their heads”

          “live rent free in their heads” doesn’t mean to be aware of someone, it’s talking about obsession. That cm lad constantly tries to bring up “.ml” out of nowhere to incite drama, and I just took a glance at their user profile and holy moly it’s almost entirely just reposting from lemmy.ml.

          Like just look at https://lemmy.world/post/30613970/17403019, a content creator is asking them to stop reposting their work to a certain community and telling them how it’s harmful, and cm0002 is just using that as an excuse to handwave it and soapbox. This is unhealthy antisocial behaviour.

            Lol

            1. I don’t do it out of “no where” I generally stick to relevant threads

            2. I have plenty of my own posts. In general, I try to aim for a 1:2 ratio, for every crosspost I post 2 articles/content that aren’t cross-posts (.ml isn’t actually all that busy lmao)

            3. lemmy.ml is probably the biggest threat to the long term viability of the Lemmy-verse. It’s just so amazing(/S) to come across comments out in the wild on say Reddit that goes along the lines of “I tried that Lemmy place, but it seemed to be just a bunch of tankies/run be Tankies” because they had the misfortune to land on lemmy.ml

            stop reposting their work to a certain community and telling them how it’s harmful

            Yea, harmful to the .ml instance …which is kinda the whole point of a boycott, to put pressure on the target to either change their ways or fall to irrelevancy

            Recap Post

              Please, do explain how the fluff lemmy.ml was relevant to this thread? All I can come up with is “I dislike this instance” and “they are leftists” (or so-called leftists).

                  I’m not stupid, I know that .m(arxist)l(eninist) is a tankie instance. But what the other user stated, that you’ve made it your entire personality to bring it up whenever possible, also rings true ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Nah, I’ll take a day off when lemmy.ml either gets shutdown, defederated from or an actual fair and unbiased admin team is put in place.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Holy shit. This comment section is a train wreck.

    possible Spoiler for Season Finale

    I 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.
