For the past month a variety of lem.cochrun.xyz accounts have been spamming religious posts (all linking to christianpicturesblog.blogspot.ca) to a variety of unrelated Lemmy communities. Unless @forgetstoshave@lem.cochrun.xyz has an alternative explanation, the posts are likely all from one or a select few lem.cochrun.xyz users seeking to evangelize their beliefs across the Threadiverse, using sock puppet accounts to evade bans.

While they are welcome to post to relevant communities (just as other users are free to block those communities), spamming such content on unrelated communities is unacceptable. While use of the Threadiverse should be encouraged, spam only serves to push away users, and thus should be handled via the defederation of lem.cochrun.xyz should it continue.

I mean, replace religion with communism/anarchism/whatever stupid -ism, and that's like half the people here.

But also, any time you see anything "blogspot [dot] com" here, it's 99.9999% always blogspam so I just report and block.

I know you’re on a personal vendetta against the left and “identity politics” (whatever right wing drivel that term means), but that content is within the appropriate communities.

The users OP is talking about are posting in unrelated comms, and as such is not comparable.

Ironically what you’re doing here is more like what the complaint is.

They're just posting slop unfortunately. Actual humans wanting to have a discussion are welcome here

In general, you're not wrong, but you completely missed the point, friend.
