Is the r/askMonero subreddit compromised?

r/askMonero (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskMonero/) was created Jan 2026, mods have private profiles (1 is very low karma), and on some posts they're shilling a swap site I've never heard of before "https://swap.fujn.com/"

Might be schizo, but my theory is this is a more complex version of the creating a fake 'how to buy xmr' post, then editing to add a scam swap site. Any thoughts?

kycnot.me have it unlisted,

seems sus yea
a legit user in the monero community that been very active on reddit has been battling for awhile scams that been working similarly, even on the literal main /r/monero subreddit
with the exact same patterns but on monero subreddit the legit posts were being downvoted to oblivious while the scam posts being upvoted

cant confirm at this point in time if this is one of those cases, seems like it at first glance tho
either way, thank you raising awarness about that
