As a victim of cult brainwashing, the practice of instance admins going on rants about how good they are is an extremely visible red flag to us.
They are using the voices of those who don't know any better to craft a pathology, to create a mass narrative that makes their victims question if what they experienced was real.
@FreyaManibrandr we're just automatically wary of anyone who claims loudly and visibly to be a good person, rather than just.... doing the things that make a person good -F

re: Fedi Meta
@Felthry same, they're erasing the voices of their victims that way, and they know it.
