This isn’t just relevant to Lemmy because it’s culturally intertwined with Lemmy but also because there’s a search engine database now that acts as a registry for anyone promoting any of the mass shooters (Luigi, Robin, Tyler, etc.).
China currently bans anyone from entering who denies their narrative about Tiananmen Square. It’s the same deal here. There’s also a couple of already-controversial Lemmy users who are collaborating with the US government by judas-kissing everyone after having honeypotted them. One of them having been infamous for banning people who promoted “blind alignment with Luigi Mangione” [sic].
What?
Judas-kissing is a midwest term. It means using covert means to mark someone as a person of interest for other people. It comes from the story of Judas kissing Jesus as a way to tell the Romans which person in the audience was Jesus.
“Honeypot” is government slang. It means an organization secretly made to keep track of a certain demographic. In this case, it refers to the government using the fediverse as a litmus test for whoever they think is worth putting under their radar.
I’d doublecheck on your sources for “honeypot”
Are you willing to name the Lemmy users doing this?
Your wording leaves me wondering whether you’re suggesting that they’re actively working with the feds, or just being helpful to them without that intent?
For better or worse, the government isn’t dumb and they’re aware not everyone in the fediverse is who they’re looking for. The fediverse is very feudal, and the government has occasionally popped in to subtly ask the disillusioned for pointers, since simple spying often leads to questions. So there’s active collaboration here.
Keep in mind this is a recent development in fairly old news. Trump was known in the beginning to vet immigrants for their social media presence. The freedom from lèse-majesté as it’s called has been broken.
So no, you can’t name them. Or really have anything but speculation
OP is talking about Call Me Leni/shinigamiookamiryuu.

It baffles me why Davel thought I was a recurring troll, and then had to unban me just to ban me again so that I appeared at the top of the modlogs. Does he genuinely think I’m any of those users, or is this a game of satisfaction to him as this would imply?
Not really what I said. Though I think this was answered better in the other exchange where someone asked.
I’ve reported you to the US government. Removal pending

That’s a mess I was caught up in. None of those people are me or are liked by me.
