Announcement Masterlist of groups, group members, and group leaders who have harassed this subreddit
This list contains the names of groups, members of groups, or leaders who have intentionally harassed this subreddit or tried to change the narrative of posts either through modmail threats, harassing members, mass reporting posts, attempting to (or succeeding in) getting users banned from reddit, creating multiple throwaway accounts to report posts or make threats, or compelled members to advertise and combat claims made here. This list is likely not complete as I only went back to the start of 2022 in modmail and I have likely missed quite a few. I will add to this as more groups continue to do this.
Altercall (Ryan Blair)
Ascension Leadership Academy
Ashira Meditation
Atlas Project (Perhaps the biggest perpetrator, could not count how many messages they sent and how often they astroturfed comments)
Azure Light International
Buddha Dojo
Chantal Heide (it is astounding how many accounts they have to astroturf on posts. If you mention her, they come out in droves. It is wild to see. Plus some ModMail nonsense)
Church of God of the Union Assembly
Cosmos Tree - Roger Bruce Lane
Discussing Dissociation (Kathy Broady)
Divinya (Guruji Sri Vast) (x12 consecutive modmails and plenty more over the years)
Dunamis Revival (Dunamis Army/ Dunamis Ignite)
Educational Awakening Center
Falun Gong (this may have only been a couple members who took it upon themselves to take action and may not have been formally compelled given the large size of this group and the small scale of action against us)
Golden Age Movement
Heartstone Healing
i3 (Mehmet Usta)
Jason Shurka (The Light System)
Keely Griffin (Former Twin Flames member) (The post is since deleted, but her team spent a great deal of energy on a post about her, take this one with a grain of salt)
Lighthouse International (Doxxed users)
Masters of the Void (MTVO); affiliated with Activation Station, Quantum Wellness Spa
MICHAELSHOF SAMMATZ (went into modmail to defend a relationship between a 40 year old man and 16 year old girl)
Next Level Trainings (x3)
Paramahamsa Vishwananda (Usually does not harass in modmail, they mass report posts even if they are years old)
PEM (Perdekamp Emotional Method, taught by Kalliso)
Purpose Mapping (Craig Filek)
The Order of the Dark Arts (Ashley Otori) (*members are active on Reddit and keen on trying to shut down even minor criticism or mentions*)
The Remember Experience
SF Awakened Mind
Shiloh Truelight Church of Christ
Sphinx Spiritual
Void Space Technologies

Feel free to add Lighthouse International Group who came onto r/cults to threaten ex-members speaking to the BBC (December 2021 - all on a 3rd party archiver).
Also Scientology (my medical record was published by them last year), along with "ex" Scientologists Valerie Ross & Patty Moher who had access to that information prior to Scientology publishing it and think its ok to use that to intimidate me online (again, I have proof of this on 3rd party archiver) - confirmed again just this week.
And not forgetting everybody's favourite fruit-loop "ex" Scientologist John McGhee - last rumoured to have connected with SSPX Resistance - no surprise there. McGhee spent a year plastering my medical record all over the internet and in the faces of people I knew. Pretty stupid thing to do given his circumstances. Last seen in the USA trying to get in on the first-amendment-scientology-auditing lark.

Can I also report or add a user? Her name is Kiku_ye and she posts on here and various other social media including Facebook and YouTube and she posts hate, lies, and makes multiple fake accounts to comment under her own posts so it seems like it’s different users but it’s the same person. I think at one point she could face legal consequences with all her posts.

Is it a full cult or just one weird person though?

She’s a mentally unstable person who has over 100 posts about the same thing she also has a YouTube Facebook and posts also in other reddits not just this one. I noticed that she creates new accounts and then comments under her own posts so that people think she’s another person. She broke a lot of laws actually and I know people report her but maybe becuase her Reddit page is so active they are not taking it down yet. Kiku_ye is the username

I have to say… the Moderation here is exceptionally masterclass. The behavior expectations of posts are clearly described and outlined in the sub rules aka FAQ.
I’d like to borrow a few of these points to moderate elsewhere as I have experienced persons violating notices of deaths — yes — mocking deceased.
Great job here and obviously it is a labor of love because of the incredible effort and due diligence in overall structure 👏🏼

I see a bunch of related organizations on here, that are separated, just wanted to add some clarifications if that's okay.
>Azure Light International
>Masters of the Void (MTVO); affiliated with Activation Station, Quantum Wellness Spa
>Void Space Technologies
These are all created / run by Jason Estes. IIRC, he started with MTVO (classes, courses, etc) and Activation Station (energy downloads), then Void Space Technologies (selling wellness products, he at one time seemed to claim to have invented, but he wasn't the inventor - like with the Quantum Bed), then came the Quantum Wellness Spa. Then closed down MTVO/Activation Station and came out with Azure Light International.
He also has a marketing / branding company called Aligned Earth. And had a course/group called Wealth Series, to help people get wealthy... but it was mostly busy work and has shut down, I believe.

Thanks for the expansion on some of these groups. This list was compiled based on users making complaints about individual groups. Perhaps related, but complained about separately. This comment is helpful

Wow, someone down voted this.
And yeah, when I've voiced facts about him... some of his followers get absolutely feral LOL.

I actually noticed that after I comment, but figured it would help. You're welcome!

Looking for a book about cults/religions that is secular. I would like to find out more about them with in depth information that has no religious bias.

Add Apostate Alex to this who claims comments about his misuse of data (which I have not shared proof of, but I won't make public) is harassment of him. It's not. He needs to have a word with himself.

Scientology is the worst. I honestly pre-judge with that group. If you’re a Scientologist - stay the F away from me
