At this point we need to assume they're Russian shills and the queer-friendly stuff is a ruse to have a fallback to always claim the moral high-ground

I 100% believe there's Russian shills in the mix, but I think most of them are normal people who are frustrated with the status quo, and vulnerable to aome targeted manipulation. It's also exactly how Russia targeted the alt-right.

They accused the blahaj.zone admin of "defending a transphobe" and their instance "unsafe for LGBTQ+" people.

The admin in question is trans and blahaj.zone is named after an IKEA shark plushie that's become an icon of the trans community.
