There’s that weird place discussed by the other instance’s admin here:

https://lemy.lol/post/17093789

It’s a small nitherlandian instance that automated posting of christian testimonies (30k+, basically a youtube crawler by keywords, updated hourly) in one community and others are filled with conspiralogical content. Maybe they had their place somewhere before?

Haven’t seen a direct bigotry at a quick glance (closing my eyes on muslims finding christian Jesus-posts), but it looks like spreading conspiracies and serving as an ad for a cult. Is that against our rules? They sometime showed in my feed too. And they are an outright spam entity having 30k posts for like 50 users.

I think that’s either a sectarian indocrination or someone being very ill in the head.

I vouch for defederating them and maybe contacting them if they need personal support.

It’s exactly what some of youtubers would do a write up about a year after.

      Can’t blame you. My holiday drunkness may seem like a thoughtful campaign, but it’s more like a short episode of attention I won’t remember in a mounth.

        I really do understand your concern, cults are obviously horrific. If you really and truly think this is a cult and will/is/has hurt people you need to document document document.

        People take evidence and cases more seriously than they do when you’re both just exchanging thoughts back and forth. I’d recommend not using this account if you do plan on doing any sort of recon or investigation and I would educate yourself on what admins of instances can and can’t see. If this is a cult you could be in danger if they’re violent or aggressive.

          Thanks for taking your time and thinking about my safety. That’s my fifth or sixth active account I use simultaneously, and I’m from russia, and I talk shit about it’s government living there. Guess if they can’t get me, these supposed cultists wouldn’t too.

          I’m yet to do a real osint research on what this thing is. If I’d find something, I’d take it to Agora, as some suggested to me. No evidence yet, just confusion. You’d see me if I’d find anything worth talking.
