The original message had nothing explicitly giving an anti-russian sentiment as it was simply stating information. You interpreting netural information in a negative light does not mean the rest of the world needs to start using a clarifying paragraph for what can be understood using just a single sentence.

you seem to have misinterpreted what i said, as you seem to think that the point of my message was "russia is behind this" or "russia bad".

.su domain ownership is not geographically restricted. Where a registrar is located tells us nothing about the domain holder.

The only thing I can imagine you misinterpreting would be my comment on "russia's past actions", which I will clarify: I was specifically referring to their history of not cooperating with extraditions or only partially cooperating with international law enforcement efforts. In addition to this, despite being part of interpol, russia's access to interpol channels have been restricted since the start of the invasion into ukraine. 

It does not matter who is behind this, they are masked behind anonymity provided by a registrar, which due to its physical location, and the current geopolitical situation, is unlikely to cooperate with international efforts to find the criminal.

where's the cringe?

The posters are likely automated bots based on the frequency (2-3 posts per minute) and duration of time (6+ hours) the accounts post links. The links (except for the once instance of an image linking to malware on archive.org) direct hardware-gui, which according to who.is, is registered by R01, the largest russian registrar. Given russia's past actions, whoever is behind this has little to fear. 

While websites are typically subject to local laws of their registrar, the '.su' domain belongs to the soviet union, and has therefore fallen through the cracks and has ended up in a grey area, since russia just turns a blind eye to whatever it hosts despite having direct ownership. It's supposedly being retired by 2030 but that just means new domains won't be allowed to be made.

On windows, save file is in %userprofile%\appdata\locallow\RalivDev\Archipelagates\saves

Save file is in plain text, you can edit it with any text editing program. Format is json, so you can use some form of json pretty print website to make it more readable rather than all on one line, the game should be able to read the save even if you have line breaks.

If you hold the interact button while looking at the pillar in the center of the teleportation doorways you can deposit them to increase your level, although not sure what that does right now other than let you visit islands with higher stats on their loot.
