I don't think they should "target" anyone. The entire basis for this app is creepy at best, and it shouldn't exist in this form. If people want a way to discuss things, they should instead share anonymous experiences.

But yeah, there are a lot of weird, culty "churches" out there, where I suspect the leadership is knowingly manipulating their congregations. But there ale also a lot of accusations of culty behavior that really aren't applicable, so it's a mixed bag. At the end of the day, I think most people are decent, regardless of religion, it's just the really vocal minority (the brainwashed minority, as well as those who left) that make the most noise.
