> Substack, the subscription newsletter platform, now hosts several “deplatformed” people who are thriving, like “gender critical” activist and TV writer Glen Linehan (who was kicked off Twitter for harassing transgender people),
I think she's referring here to Graham Linehan [1], the Irish writer (Father Ted, Black Books), who now posts mainly on Substack [2].

Start by ceasing your trust is "Authoritative sources" aka "Main Stream" news err propaganda outfits like motherjones and fortune
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that Kiwi Farms has bullied anyone to suicide. [1]. Kiwi Farms is often blamed for driving as many as three different individuals to suicide. This claim has been uncritically echoed by The Washington Post, Gizmodo, Insider, Daily Dot, NPR, Forward, Vice, and NBC News, among many, many other sites. Link [1] Breaks down all 3 in great detail explaining how the link to Kiwi Farms is tenuous at best
Your Motherjones story also talk about Trans Lifeline, well there is a counter narrative to the official story there where Kiwi Farms discovered that the people that are accusing Kiwi Farms of harassment "diverted in the neighborhood of $350,000 from the charity’s funds to their own private uses."

This is your reminder that past Reddit powermods and hired staff allegedly include Ghislane Maxwell [0] (who Ellen Pao knew and socialized with in Pao's time as Reddit CEO [1]), alleged rape and kidnapping accomplice Aimee Challenor [2] (criticism of whose hiring Reddit censored for days before relenting), and convicted domestic abuser creeps like u/bardfinn who abuse their moderator powers and allegedly flood competing subreddits with CSAM material [3]. These people do not deserve anonymity, nor an assumption of good faith.

The mods have really taken over. If you post this link on reddit you will be banned immediately. If you file an appeal it will be denied on the spot.

I wonder how investors will react to having horrible people moderating their investment.

More interesting backstory here: https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/something-rotten-at-the-heart-of
This whole thing is a massive yikes from me. She even called the child victim a 'lying little slut': https://twitter.com/fixedforlicks/status/1035647401783173121?lang=en

Here's an article I found about her husband also fantasizing about pedophilia: https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/something-rotten-at-the-heart-of
I'm posting that link because it also contains information around their claim his Twitter account was "hacked".

Who her husband is certainly isn't helping matters.

Hopefully it's not against the rules here or anything, but it was identified[0] as /u/bpwpb[1], so Challenor changed[2] profiles to /u/isnottheimposter[3].

I think the unwelcome article is probably this one, since it is easily found with a Google search suggestion: "Aimee Challenor G[raham Linehan]".
NB the final picture is Challenor dressed as an infant (dress + teddy bear). Most other images are cartoon drawings from fetish/furry sites.

(I'm posting this link as it seems important to the discussion. I'll check in about 30 minutes and delete it if it is significantly downvoted.)
