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.

    Posts there are a spam to indocrinate other users.

    Imagine them, but being about how they’ve found their place in the church of scientology.

    Besides that spammer, there are not many users, not much content. It can be sawed off without anyone noticing that shit.

      Of that one problematic community, there are like 6 users. Just block the users and the community. Very easy.

      Why should we punish people that decided to create an account on that instance just because of the like 6 people posting content you don’t like by removing the other user’s right to access this instance via their account on that instance?

        Why did they create their accounts there in the first place? Do you really want to hear them?

          Well, maybe they just picked a community more or less at random. I, for example, don’t have a particular reason to have picked sh.itjust.works. It was simply the first community I came across. Do you have a reason why you picked this community specifically instead of any of the others?

            I migrated a couple of times before. Sh.itjust.works promoted itself by having it’s communities and users active, not being heard of in fedidrama and for, like, it just works and don’t go offline or render itself inaccessible by other means. If I could be interested in a local c/greentext community and get deffed, I’d just register another account elsewhere. There’s no fee, no verification cans, and some people even programmed a migration script to carry your bookmarks and subscriptions onto a new one.
