We've always noticed something odd with user @Skipper1402@lemmygrad.ml, but we haven't formalized any space for discussion about them.

People have noticed they are apparently collecting info about us and our community. Have you interacted with this user? What do you think about it?

I'm going to repost what I said for context in an earlier thread if that is alright; will delete if not.

*"They’re an info-broker. Not your stereotypical movie one; one can be simply an “info-broker” by asking open-ended questions to ascertain certain “standards” either they realize it or not. A collector if you will. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing depending on the framing of the information given to whomever the source is or if they’re actually just collecting some of their own. Seen this a few times.

They’re purposefully feeling and testing out the community. They ask questions related to our personal circles, how we interact with others and indirectly questioning our organizational capacities. Is it no coincidence they ask constantly about open-ended questions about our personal lives and organizational capacities? Does this mean they’re a “Fed” or I’m accusing them of anything nefarious? Not at all, actually, quite the opposite. Perhaps, they are curious."*

"The thing you should find strange is the indirect questioning of our social capabilities. That’s the only thing I’m concerned about. I posted a picture above. They seem quite interested in that."

Just putting here for consideration.
