Hi, I'm not sure where I can ask about this since I'm not seeing a Scams help community on here, and I had tried to search for one.

What is going on is that I had started checking out BlueSky after I had gotten an invite from someone on Twitter/X to move there, and just recently I have gotten a confusing message related to the illuminati on there. I haven't responded to them since I'm very confused and thought to try to get help in r/Scams on Reddit thinking it might be illegitimate.

When I had tried to ask over there, my message had gotten removed by the AutoModerator over there saying that my post has been removed because it looks like you are relying heavily on a screenshot to explain the scam. This has me wondering where else I can get help about this, even though I can provide a screenshot of the message in question.

Just block them and move on if you've identified them.

I ended up reporting and blocking them after a few people had told me that its a scam.
