Looks like some sort of K-Pop/crypto community just migrated to the Fediverse from Twitter.

I don’t exactly get it 🤷‍♂️

But maybe not everything is meant for me to get.

I mean, it’s also likely these are bots.

But I try to be positive.

I know not all of them are bots. Many of them come from Indonesia, Philippines, etc.

But it seems like there’s some crypto peddling going on.

@atomicpoet yeah and I hope to don't see crypto stuff here.

If you’re wondering what I’m talking about regarding the new K-Pop/crypto migrants(?) from Twitter, it’s messages like this.

@atomicpoet Yes, it seems to be a "classic" scam, apparently without crypto being involved (they refer to "cash"). Although the "pokado" username makes me think of "Polkadot", a blockchain created by one of the devs behind Ethereum.

All right, I’m just going to report these accounts as spam.

I feel bad for the very real people who are caught up in these “giveaways”.

@atomicpoet people who fall for these posts should not be allowed a computer.

@atomicpoet This sounds like a typical bitcoin scam.

@atomicpoet

I just don't get how people still fall for these things and boost posts like this.

@atomicpoet This type of email spam is increasing too, as of lately.

@atomicpoet
It is particularly insidious to mix it with KPop because they will regularly have drawings and giveaways of photos and promotional stuff, so the language is similar.

Thomas Panzner

@atomicpoet who does follow such accounts? I don’t get it. Maybe the same kind of people still using Facebook

@atomicpoet That rings a bell from Twitter a while back. It is mostly inorganic but the fan content disrupts the algorithmic checking.

Mark Wollschlager

@atomicpoet Those are fairly specific , but I am suspicious of the posts begging for boosts and follows in general.
