A post from today, two months later, setting up as if to both promote Sharkey while claiming to want to interview Sharkey users.

Although, only speculation, I notice this individual seems less like a prospecting journalist, and more like an advertising placeholder.
They made a similar post two (2) months ago, even starting it as their introduction to the Fediverse (see screenshot).
I am not a journalist, or inspiring blogger, but I would presume in two (2) months time, the article would have enough shared options to go to story. I also find it odd that they praise Sharkey in both post, as oppose to giving no opinion, and just asking people what they think.
That said, when I was confronting Sharkey, while still hanging out in their Discord Server, I learned they do use alternative accounts to help paint their narrative.
Again, my theory is only speculation, based on my experience and dealings with Sharkey. It just seems to fit their track record. And if in this instance, I am wrong, I apologize, but would again, point out that this is something they (Sharkey Development) have done in the past.
