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 new users away, and thus should be handled via the defederation of lem.cochrun.xyz should it continue.

It’s true, the only evangelizing I want to see on my feed is converting to Linux.
Weird. I hadn’t seen this at all until after I saw your post and scrolled down a bit further.
Reported. Hopefully lemmy.world mods do something about this.
All hail the God Turtle.
Is it the same turtle all the way down, or iterations of —and in which direction does it multiply?
Yeah, definitely bots. A different one (an account called ‘nobody’) on that instance posted one to a community called Religious fruitcake.
I misread that as “Trust Turtle God GIF”, and was confused by the downvotes.
Downvoted because it’s not animated, obviously.
If they don’t know that they’re committing a mortal sin by spamming other communities, I say let them. When they get to the pearly gate and ol’ Pete is like no guys y’all punched a ticket for downstairs, they’ll know they fucked up.
Well, we’re all seen as a bunch of heathens, so I guess this sort of thing is inevitable. Not cool, but inevitable.
Haven’t seen that yet (thankfully) but if I did I’d consider that a representation of Maturin, the cosmic turtle
Don’t care, I see a tortoise I upvote
You see a tortoise misnamed a turtle and you upvote? Don’t be part of the problem, please. We’re working against it as fast as we can here.

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.
They’re just posting slop unfortunately. Actual humans wanting to have a discussion are welcome here
Overall, you’re not wrong, but you completely missed the point, friend.
