HN discussionI 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. https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/ashton-challenor-the-bo... (I'm posting this link as it seems important to the discussion. I'll…

HN discussionThe 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. https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/theres-another-abusive-... I wonder how investors will react to having horrible people moderating their investment.

on “Looking into Cloudflare's claims about Kiwi Farms”> 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].
