Hello new Lemmy friends!
Word on the street tells us our community is regularly making it the all page. While this is very cool news to hear, we can see how the sudden emergence of our posts in your feed might feel jarring and probably raises some questions. And also how, without knowing the backstory, our community might appear less than virtuous, so here’s a very brief introduction which hopefully will clear a few things up.
The woman we’re discussing is a body positive influencer and media personality who has gained fame and wealth by lying, manipulating, exploiting her children for content, plagiarizing BIPOC creators and blaming her BIPOC content editor for it (thereby ruining her career), among other things. Her fraudulent behavior is no different (I’d argue worse) from the likes of Jay Shetty (google him if you don’t know who he is or what he did). She’s the latest in a long line of grifting influencers who are abusing their power, taking advantage of their position and exploiting their followers. The difference is that she’s Canadian. Our laws around social media and advertising aren’t as clear (and where they are she’s disobeyed them), add to that, our mainstream media has protected her from those who’ve tried to expose her grift and silenced/intimidated anyone who’s tried to speak out.
Our Reddit sub was taken down due to reports of copyright infringement, which is unfounded and categorically untrue as no one ever tried to steal her work and pass it off as their own. The mods have made an appeal. While at first glance it may seem like we’re just “shitting on her” the sub has been more devoted to investigation and posting proof of her lies than just bitching for the sake of bitching. The reality is that she’s hurt, manipulated and let down a lot of people. She stole intellectual property and employment, caused mental distress and has repeatedly told lies to boost engagement and profit off her audience, so people are understandably upset that their voices are being silenced.
We’re grateful to have been welcomed so kindly by so many of you, and to those sticking around to watch the drama unfold, we’re glad to have you!

The luxury estate apparently has a pool! Maybe that’s the hold up?
There’s no pool ffs.
If there is a pool that introduces a whole other set of problems with insurance, upkeep (from professionals) etc. It would be about 2000$ to $3000 a year for just cottage insurance, but with a pool it might be an extra $50-$100 a month? Having a housekeeper is one thing, but unless you were very familiar with pools and hot tubs, and have someone able to take care of it regularly, then there will be an additional cost to have someone specifically taking care of the hot tub and the pool, making sure all of the chemicals are OK. I believe that if you are a short term rental landlord you should supply safe drinking water (like a water cooler etc). No matter what, though if you ever do go to a cottage, it is in everyone’s best interest to pack extra water just in case anyway. I would definitely say that the showers will likely have some sort of filtration system built in, but you never know. With extreme heat this area does develop a lot of algae bloom, and you might get some thing like swimmers itch if the temperatures are too high and there are ducks or geese, but that is the same for a lot of places in Ontario. Depending on the walkout situation from the cottage to the water, might be the reason that there was a push to get a pool, because if it’s rocks, they could be slippery people can be injured, etc.
It looks like they are just falsely advertising it to keep in theme with Birdy herself 🤣
What pool!?! Do the balls come out of the ball pit and that's the pool??
Fill the bathtub with water and VOILA you have a pool!
