Welcome new members! Please take a second to read the rules located in the community sidebar.

We are doing our best to appeal the Reddit ban. In the meantime, we thought it might be nice to have a new safe space to snark and have made lemmy.ca our new home.

Please bear with us while we figure the new site out and please let any former TBP Reddit users know we are here!

    Whoever posted on the blogsnark subreddit asking if it was okay to talk about TBP on there now, if you are here to read this I would recommend not to go over there. All of the people that are on the blogsnarkmetasnark page (some of whom responded to the post) will come over to rip you a new one, then go back to their subreddit to talk about how horrible of a human you are. Just a warning. It’s way more drama than what it is worth.

      I went and had a look at the parentblogsnark because someone had posted a notice about TBP sub take down and people have some strong opinions about our snark. I don’t get the, if you don’t like it then don’t follow, mentality. In a case like the Princess, who is outright lying about her appearance and that’s her entire platform, it makes me feel like just walking away and not shining a light on it is being a bystander. The stories from women in the sub really affected me and showed me how much harm she’s causing and I really feel a duty to inform. That sounds all high and mighty but if everyone turns a blind eye to what’s wrong in society then it’s allowed to continue.

        Lol yes. You can usually tell by comments like this the people who belong to the blogsnarkmetasnark sub. They all very much respond to posts in similar ways usually criticizing the poster, downvote them, and then go back to their sub to discuss the stupidity of the people who posted or commented. Once you start to notice it, it becomes obvious who they are. They were also laughing about TBP sub being shut down on their sub. No wonder people barely post in blogsnark anymore.

        Super weird. Their whole premise is to snark on people in other subreddits that they feel aren’t snarking the right way. It’s pretty big too which is what surprises me most since it’s so hypocritical.

          There are snarkers and then their are people with a huge chip on their shoulder who just seem downright miserable and want to take everyone down with them
