Leni was perceived as power tripping by banning users for expressing support for Luigi Mangione, being featured on the YPTB community.

User “ShiverMeTimbers” in the YPTB thread was also banned. Modlogs say it was an alt of Call Me Leni: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=10474742

As some may already be aware, months ago, there was a callout post on lemmy.world about a user named Call Me Leni.

It has recently been found out that this user is a member of Kiwifarms, and this is one of Leni’s posts there. How do we know this is Leni? Because Leni directly referenced these Kiwifarms posts in Lemmy comments. (The link to Kiwifarms is in the word “question” for the first one, and in the word “overrated” in the second comment). Leni is known for taking the usernames of people on DeviantArt and signing up using those usernames on other websites. Particularly the usernames of DeviantArt users who called Leni out.The username that posted these messages is that of a DeviantArt artist who, at one point, called Leni out. Leni has accounts all over the internet. The Kiwifarms user here also shares Leni’s distinctive writing style, art (the avatar) and opinions. Several things stated by the Kiwifarms account are consistent with details that Leni has posted on the Lemmy account.

For those who aren’t in the know about Kiwifarms, this Wikipedia article explains it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms Kiwifarms is blocked here in the UK, so I had to use TOR to access it.

    A few two cents…

    1. That’s your criteria for deciding who is who? Imagine if you had money stolen and was like “my brother likes to steal money from me, so it must have been him.”
    2. The group you describe isn’t “just” targeting people or “made for” it. Above all, it was made for an angle of freedom of speech many places don’t live up to. It even clarifies front and center that they’re not responsible for the questionable acts the members commit. And honestly they aren’t.
    3. TIL giving the literal Crash Course definition of asexuality would be considered gatekeeping. By this logic, a dictionary is a book of gatekeeping. I am an asexual, I can confirm asexuality is defined by a resistance of physical mingling, just as it’s not gatekeeping to say atheism is defined by a resistance of God or anarchism is defined by a resistance to inherent government authority. It’s literally in the name. ASEXual. By your logic, do I have to be interested in other women to be a lesbian, or homosexual as would be the useful term here? HomoSexUal.
    4. People can use a term ironically or in the context that the person they’re responding to is using it, I’m sure.
