    I almost forgot about Vegantheoryclub.org I remember controversy about them with !vegan@lemmy.world where one of the mods of that community was also an admin on there or had ties to the admin there and was using it to ban anyone who criticized her or downvoted her. She was posting a ton of reactionary content (some of which was misinformation) and even tried to ban LW admins from the community. They eventually booted her and she tried to use alts to add herself back but ended up getting all of them booted and then used an alt to try and create more drama.

    Yeah I strongly recommend people stay away from vegantheoryclub, they’re not a good instance. Their admin clearly has problems.

      I think you’re mixing things up. Beaver was not among the !vegan@lemmy.world mods who fought against the .world admin Rooki’s interference in the community based on his personal beliefs and made-up rules. Beaver just briefly participated in some of the related discussions. Then long after the incident, she posted memes (which I don’t believe were reactionary if you mean right-wing), including some that mocked it. A new mod of the .world vegan community called her out for that and for allegedly banning people too eagerly and removed her as a mod. None of it involved the VTC instance. Slrpnk has a decent summary of the events. There are reasons to believe that Beaver is an old account of the OP (Sunshine).
