Someone finally decided to sue the fediverse via karmacourt, and it's no surprise who it is

I have a friend of a friend that said you’re an alt of Leni.
It’s not me though, it’s a real friend that exists.

The fact that they're suing "the Fediverse" as if it was a monolithic entity is real funny.
- It’s amazing how Redditors can always find a new reason to make me feel embarrassed that I ever browsed the site
  
  What time does the narwhal bacon?
  
  I wonder what they're thinking by mass-upvoting the lawsuit too. Either they're in the wrong or we're in the wrong.
- Yeah, the whole point of the Fediverse is it's decentralized. Each instance has its own independent administrators so if you come across an instance you don't like, you can just post to another one. Lemmy isn't just one site but hundreds of sites that communicate together.
  
  May I ask then (since you seem to be known for going around bragging about the person in question seemingly being banned from all these different places), why even brag that if you say here that the whole point of the fediverse being the fediverse is that it's not a "ban" in the same way as a Reddit ban? You keep saying Leni has alts and is supposedly ban evading. Now what you're saying undermines those words, "ban evading".
- The logic probably is that they were banned from most of it due to instances asking it from one another, so they might as well.

Oh, of COURSE that's the user they're complaining got banned. The Nazi troll with a thousand alts on a dozen sites, all speaking in the same voice to defend her, who has been discussed on this very sub over and over and over. Honestly, I guessed, even before seeing the username in the mod logs.
When an entire multiverse of websites tells you to fuck off, why would you even want to stay?
- Just looked at OP's recent post history, and they seem to be concern trolling about if "transracial" identities will be covered under Feddit.uk's transphobia guidelines. https://lemmy.wtf/post/22009472/14897093
  
  It's not concern trolling simply to ask. I was asking based on the fact they mentioned rushing through the process as they were short on time.
- She probably sees the number of fediverse participants that banned her as a drop in the bucket (not that it isn't, the fediverse is huge) and takes advantage of the fact that the communities that are supposed to have banned her are technically still functional to her. She made a vent way back where she said it couldn't have been a true ban due to this and because the TOS was never violated.
  The lawsuit though is (supposedly) by a different person who says the two of them maintain the motives for the bans to be false. The upvotes in Karmacourt (which is otherwise mostly a dead community) signify they don't put it past the fediverse.
  
  When you're instance banned and try to post to a community that is going to an instance you're banned from it will appear as if you're posting in that community like normal, but the post won't federate. Only users native to their instance will be able to see the posts (in Leni's case, only lemm.ee users can see those posts). Let's say you're instance banned from lemmy.world. You could seemingly post to a lemmy.world community on a lemm.ee account, but the post won't actually show up for lemmy.world users.
  are technically still functional to her
  Leni's still banned. I don’t know why you seem so insistent on trying to say they aren’t. You don't seem to understand how federation works.

  Leni attempted to post in a Beehaw community. Leni is instance-banned from Beehaw. This post isn't visible to anyone on the Beehaw instance. In fact, the post isn't even on Beehaw, it was posted on lemm.ee.

Context for those unaware:
"A friend of mine" OP is referring to Call Me Leni, who was banned from several instances and communities for being a KiwiFarms member, among other things, and OP has a grudge against the Fediverse for this. Leni shouldn't have linked their KiwiFarms posts on Lemmy, and linked Lemmy threads talking about them on their KiwiFarms account. That wasn't very bright of them.
Proof 1
Proof 2
Modlog
Call me Leni also defended KiwiFarms as a "free speech" site and tried to conflate the hate site with Discord:
I take it OP feels like the Fediverse is violating "free speech" for banning KiwiFarms members.
- I'm not her. We went over this in my last post you visited. You are just stalking at this point. What grudge do you have against me anyways? Is it not clear we are talking about a common subject?
  As for the rest, anyone can click a link within a link.
  
  This is fucking hysterical. You realize the person you're replying to didn't say you were Call Me Leni? You denying it without accusation like that is uh... not a great look!

Why do we give a shit what a bunch of losers with too much time on their hands on a shithole site think lmao
Also, if you keep getting banned from communities “for no good reason,“ I got some unfortunate news for you…
- Why do we give a shit what a bunch of losers with too much time on their hands on a shithole site think lmao
  Because it's free popcorn! 🍿🍿🍿
  
  Fair
- always seems like the same gaggle of drama-generating users..
  
  It says something though they're all still on their first accounts.
- It does happen. Usually in the case of peer pressure, but it does. For the same reason we have PR disasters in more mainstream politics, like the fact nobody recognizes Taiwan. It's anti-incentivized.
  It's why I left Reddit.

Why did I know it was Lenislop before I even opened the link?

Chinese whispers
Well that's a new term for me. Sounds... Wildly racist lol
- It's an outdated term, definitely. An alternative would be the Telephone Game, which is the same thing with a different name.
- Chinese Whispers isn't literally Chinese whispers. It's the name of a game kids play in school. Kids line up, then whisper something in the next kid's ear to pass it along, and once it reaches the last kid, it is spoken out loud to see how much it evolved.
  I think here it's being a metaphor for hearsay.
  
  [Completely off-topic] Where I live this game is known as "wireless phone" (telefone sem fio). Now thinking, it's kind of weird how the name is still there, in a world full of cell phones.

And literally no one gave a single shit
- Someone must've considering the engagement for it.
  
  C-SPAN in the middle of the night when Congress isn’t in session gets more engagement than that post.

[Sorry for the double comment]
Disclaimers: I'm aware that I might have an incomplete picture of the situation. As such take what I say with a grain of salt, and do call me out if I say something that is bullshit. Also, I'd rather not take intentions into account.
With that out of the way: Kiwi Farms is a cesspool, and I think that Leni should take this whole situation as a wake up call.
That site doesn't just "happen" to contain harassment; it exists for harassment, even if Leni claims otherwise. It is not for "an angle of freedom of speech". And even if she's just there for some popcorn, or to discuss random stuff, clowns only perform where there's an audience clapping and laughing at their stunts. I don't know if she actively harassed someone, but she's still condoning it. It's still bad.
And, like, I know popcorn is fun, but this sort of site is better treated as "don't touch it". GIF related:

And linking the Fediverse in KF is even worse. The Fediverse hosts lots of disempowered people, often from marginalised groups. Linking it there is the same as saying "hey guys! Here's a barn full of lolcows!". Don't - those people have enough shit to deal with, you're only making it worse for them.
So, while I personally don't hold any strong opinion for/against Leni, I do think those instance admins did the right thing - they're protecting their users.

I hope the Plaintiff knows that the Karma Court is just for the lolz?
- I read the first sentence and think that maybe they were doing it to lowkey show that the non-fediverse world (according to them) sees through the fediverse's claims and motives as dishonest, not so much to sue the fediverse. In other words, a reverse-Streisand, similar to running for office and backing out for the publicity.
  If true, the upvotes would suggest their plan is working.
  
  Eh, its only 7 upvotes and only a small amount of comments, so if it was an attempt of smearing the fediverse they failed right on their stupid face.
