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

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.
Certainly living up to generational stereotypes about never being able to remotely tolerate anything that they don’t agree with.
I wonder if there’s a market for a Reddit clone that is just a large language model that analyzes every post you make and makes more posts agreeing with whatever you said identically, and anytime you don’t like what you see, you can just hit the ban button and every post even remotely like it is just removed because it’s just a bunch of gibberish sputtered up by a large language model trying to copy you.
There is a market for everything. But people would probably figure out that none of the posts are real so nobody would use it anymore. Unless you made it into a game where you roleplay as a forum admin, somewhat akin to HyperSpace Outlaw.
You just described reddit ;)
