This doesn’t suprise me at all. It has happened on every social media platform as has been well documented and studied and as you all know with every wave of bots and and blue waves and trolls and romance scammers I’ve been whispering kinda loudly for folks to worry about this…

Time to regulate social media.

So, I should check my posting history to confirm whether there are posts attributed to me that I didn't post?

Its the reality if having an open social media. There’s no better place to mess with people’s heads. That’s why even if you think this platform is safer and immune to propaganda, verify everything you retweet. We need to be better than the other side.

My favorite game that I have been playing against my will for over a decade is: Sincerely Held Horrible Belief or Enterprising Post from Novosibirsk. There is literally no way to tell the difference

And they get more and more sophisticated at exactly that!

I assure you this risk is nonexistent, comrade.

I keep getting Musk following me. BLOCKED

Hi everybody (waves to the fam), The nuclear block here on BlueSky is awesome. If you don't want some romance scammer, or MAGAt refugee, or Kremlin troll in your mentions, just block them and they are GOOOOOONE from your life. Also, side note: if you're still on social media for "numbers," stop.

Ответ для Ody

Nuclear block is great! but we know from research that convincing damaging fake content fools even the smartest people. Not always clear to people what is inauthentic. These tactics have done real damage to democracy. We need major regulation at fed level and platform protections at this level.

Ответ для Sarah J. Jackson

Agreed, but in the meantime my advice to everyone is this: If it's spouting Kremlin propaganda, it's a Kremlin propagandist. There's no need to debate it, or to fish for its official country of origin. Just block it. Maybe torment it for a few minutes before you block it, just to make it suffer. 😁

Ответ для Ody

If someone unexpectedly follows me and they have a lot of followers, I rarely follow back.

They can hack accounts but BlueSky is harder to influence than X or FB. Me next week: read a good post on BlueSky yesterday. Think I’ll volunteer to canvas for Trumps third term.Also thinking more about it gerrymandering is fair. And Women don’t need to vote.Just cover up and get a husband! 😂

Income Reduction Act?

Ответ для Sarah J. Jackson

This is awful, but also kind of thrilling? If Bluesky was just a rounding error on the bottom line of the Nazi bar, why would the Russians even bother?

The Great Hack was like a horse and buggy compared to what they are doing now. In Canada we are completely unprotected because our current government benefits from it, Carney's mad dash for Big Oil & Gas is supported by Russia and the far right.

Ответ для Patrick Canning 🇨🇦

From the US, Carney doesn't come across far right. Don't see the Russia support either. At least I haven't seen him doing the Trump with Putin kind of bromance.

Ответ для Zet

We can't compare everything to trump, as the yardstick of whether someone is right wing or not. He's "worse than Harper," said his own MP. And he's done worse since then, like the MOU pipeline deal.

Ответ для Patrick Canning 🇨🇦

Unfettered support for big oil is support for right wing politics, because big oil gas funded the Overton window transition to the right over the last 30 years. Russian disinfo supports oil and gas, and the oil economy, whether they support a specific politician or not.

Ответ для Patrick Canning 🇨🇦

And they don't do so alone,they do it in alignment with the many rightwing interests which supported trump, Brexit, the convoy, and all the other far right causes.

Ответ для Patrick Canning 🇨🇦

When you prop up big oil you prop up all their causes, which they fund and support with their immense wealth and power.

Ответ для Zet

Open your eyes then

As I just wrote to someone else, in case it escaped your attention, it was just pointed out to me that the article is dated May 21st. I totally missed the discourse on this the first time around. Still totally relevant! Just a useful fact to know.

Ответ для Eileen Clancy 🧿

Thanks I missed it then too, not long ago and it seems like many missed it so totally relevant. The other day someone called me paranoid for pointing out an account that was acting very much like the ira accounts did before the 2016 election; I for one am glad to see it acknowledged here!
