some are real, but unfortunately bots piggy back on to these people and wedge their way into the conversation

but its obvious when you spot a bot / op...they always have some super generic username, which ALWAYS is referencing some sort of "identity"...instead of just a simple nickname or their real name or variation of their real name. something like 'MarineDad' where the bio will ALWAYS have one word descriptions on what they are "about" and what they believe in: "proud vet. father. free thinker." shyt like that. go onto their profile and all of their activity is centered around RTs, posting articles, and commenting on other posts... they're rarely creating original posts or content themselves, just reposting and talking about other 'content'

look at what that guy said... "the projects of Pittsburgh!" total sockpuppet language. id bet someone who really lived it would probably reference their specific housing development by name or at least drill down on the neighborhood. sockpuppet language is super generic and vague

i dont want to think about the number of sockpuppet accounts out there that are activly dominating, and sometimes driving, discussion. its staggering. they've infected every conversation about anything remotely political or cultural in our country.

add up those sock puppet accounts, combine them with clout demons, and LGBTQ people complaining, and it results in a platform that isnt worth even being on or participating in

and i dont care if its a foreign country or coming within our own country, but a coordinated and well funded operation to help spread misinformation, confusion, fear, and to help steer discourse in the direction of a group that'll ultimately profit from it, should be an international crime against humanity, tried at The Hague. the damages shyt like this could lead to is scary to think about and it should be taken seriously. the platform owners need to be held accountable as well
