Here’s a Bluesky post from Mr. Spock. It’s logical.
We’ve been on Bluesky as an antidote to Elon Musk’s (you know, the centibillionaire whose net worth rose $15 billion today to $475.5 billion) garbage dump, X. Anyone who has been on X knows it’s a MAGA cesspool filled with far-right feces. And the Guardian tells us where the MAGAt posters live:
Many of the most influential personalities in the “Make America great again” (Maga) movement on X are based outside of the US, including Russia, Nigeria and India, a new transparency feature on the social media site has revealed.
The new tool, called “about this account,” became available on Friday to users of the Elon Musk-owned platform. It allows anyone to see where an account is located, when it joined the platform, how often its username has been changed, and how the X app was downloaded.
As soon as the update was rolled out, users found numerous Maga and rightwing influencers who presented themselves as patriotic Americans were operating from other countries. …
The account MAGANationX, with nearly 400,000 followers and a bio reading “Patriot Voice for We The People”, is actually operated from eastern Europe, according to the Daily Beast. Another popular profile, IvankaNews, an Ivanka Trump fan account with around one million followers that frequently posts about illegal immigration, Islam and support for Trump, was revealed to be based in Nigeria.
Another user also uncovered several additional cases. Dark Maga, a smaller account with roughly 15,000 followers, is run from Thailand. MAGA Scope, which has more than 51,000 followers, operates out of Nigeria, while MAGA Beacon is based in south Asia.
Newsweek has a list of the prominent fake accounts. But why are foreigners posting right-wing propaganda on X? Let X explain:
All content on X is subject to the X’s User Agreement, including the X Rules. As you seek to get paid from X for your content on the platform, remember that monetized content, like other content on X, must be in compliance with our rules on Safety, Authenticity, and Privacy.
In addition, if you earn money or currency from X via any of our creator monetization products, you are subject to X’s Creator Monetization Standards, which includes eligibility, content and conduct standards, as outlined on this page. These rules mitigate risk of harm to X and its customers, while ensuring that creators derive the utmost value from monetization features.
The more people who read and retweet these messages, the more money the fake MAGAts make. The “safety, authenticity and privacy” disclaimer is just Elon bullshit. He doesn’t care. He promotes them, because they bring eyeballs to his platform.
Besides, what prominent idiot influencer would retweet this garbage?
Donald Trump has a history of retweeting accounts that were identified as fake users, bots, or sources of conspiracy theories and extremist content. This practice has been widely reported by numerous news organizations and has drawn scrutiny from researchers and social media platforms.
Key details include:
- Retweets of Suspended Accounts: Analyses have shown that Trump retweeted dozens of accounts that were later suspended by Twitter (now X) for violating platform rules.
- Interaction with Bots: He has interacted with accounts later identified as bots or part of bot networks. In some cases, the accounts were quickly taken down after the interaction drew attention.
- Foreign Influence Operations: Some of the accounts he retweeted were linked to foreign influence operations, such as those run by Russia-linked entities during and after the 2016 election.
- Content and Disinformation: The retweeted accounts often spread hyper-targeted messages, conspiracy theories (including QAnon content), and misinformation.
- Fake Identities: Investigations have revealed instances where fake accounts using stolen photographs of real people were used to push pro-Trump messages, and some of these posts gained traction through engagement, though not always directly a retweet from Trump himself. In one notable case in 2020, Twitter suspended a network of fake accounts that were pretending to be Black Trump supporters, which had garnered hundreds of thousands of retweets.
Experts noted that this behavior could encourage the creation of such accounts, hoping to gain a wider audience through a retweet from the president.
These likely are the accounts your Orange-Menace-fellating MAGAt relatives will quote at Thanksgiving dinner this week. Be sure to shut them down when they spew this garbage.
