Call it a tinfoil hat, but there have been a dozen posts centring around close parent offspring relationships, sharing a bed in a new flat with dad, dad buying an expensive edible flower bouquet for daughter, and many others. All of which seem to garner a lot of attention, then get deleted. These posts have been popping up over the year. Also worth mentioning, these post have soon been deleted when questioned on validity or its romantic connotations.
I had been collecting screenshots but the phone I was using is broken.
Anyway, with the deleted post in question, the response style of op seemed similar to other now deleted posts and I believe these posts are fake and are coming from one person/ai/org.
Not that surprising, people who venture onto the fediverse are typically more paranoid and will be much more likely than a redditor to delete posts. I’ve done that a lot, and I also notice a lot of comments getting deleted after like a month.
For what it’s worth, I was skeptical of it too, but I still gave it a real answer. A lot of times even if I think something is probably fake I still try to answer it genuinely. Unless I’m like >90% sure it’s fake.
There are a lot of people and bots alike who use forums like this, Reddit mostly, but also smaller ones, to push narratives, to experiment in pushing narratives, to probe how easy it is to change perceptions among a select group of people about a topic.
It may not even be apparent what the goal is or why people or agencies are going through this much trouble, but there are complicated interconnections that a lot of people are trying to explore every day and set up intersecting narratives for tomorrow.
Not all of them are going to be at all successful, meaningful or even make sense. That’s part of it too, to see how people respond to almost random new narratives and topics becoming more prevalent.
Basically, trust no one, believe nothing. Go outside, make friends, kill your social media, be social in real life, exercise and stop spending money. If we all did this the bot-farms and corruption would dry out overnight.

Its just how fediverse is.
