After reports exposed that the Trump administration (Ed Martin) is using bot accounts to manipulate social media comments, we recommend ignoring the trolls entirely. Operation Whirlwind’s tactics keep escalating from online disinformation,

Many times you can visit their Facebook page and when they only have a few profile pics and we’re made very recently with no content that can be said to be a troll and/or not. I’m not an expert though that’s just one metric I use
to investigating James Comey over a harmless “8647” post, to arresting a sitting mayor for inspecting an immigration center in his own city. This administration is a regime, and its goal is fear. They target our coalition members relentlessly.
It’s our taxpayer money being wasted on his hurt feelings.
I guess we taxpayers have no way of protecting ourselves.
Trump should be forced to use his money for his whimpy life, not us.
While we can’t share details yet, some who recently stood up to this administration are now being targeted in ways that go far beyond job loss. No matter the consequences, we will keep standing up for what’s right. Thank you for standing with us. This regime thrives on chaos we meet it with courage.
And anti-anarchy teams to weed out the militia 🤡s & other idiot losers that will AGAIN be out destroying stuff & saying that "the intolerant left" did it🙄
Thank you for your courage, we appreciate those willing to put themselves in harm's way. You all are the front line. We will be the reinforcements. Be brave, please keep fighting for us!
When people actively protest, you can see the actual supporters that are left locally. My town is about 10-15% seems still support him. Mostly biker bar hops, guys that drive antiques, and young dumb guys.
This is why they wants to ban/prevent all protests by spreading fear and by dictatorship "laws" like currently in Russia. Putin have less than 5% now here. Five times less than prior start of the stupid war
Reading a lot about wealthier Americans and outspoken elites leaving the country. Others - some nameless as you speak about- fighting back, and being threatened with treason charges, imprisonment, job loss, etc. We are in perilous times.
I have shared this a million times, i have tagged members of the senate.. silence which pisses me off even more, they act like it's business as usual and this MF is executing martial law July 27th.
Truly grateful for those standing up. It’s unfathomable that US has reached this point but if we are to stop this, we need to join with you. We need to support unions and do so much more than we have thus far.

Obviously Midas Touch lead guy, plus probably the Lincoln Project lead guy. All through my 60 years I always thought when you say 86 something that means get rid of it? Never in all of my experience has it been a term to kill? Bondi sold $1M worth of trump co. stock just hours before #liberationday
I can only thank you for what you are doing and pray for your continued safety as you fight this administration. I’m just a blue dot in big ole red Florida but I am not afraid of them.
Former Floridian here, I am so glad to meet you, although not in person but thank you for being that blue dot💙
I fought like hell while living there to be heard.
AGREE. Folks need to vet follow backs here. Try not to be upset about being blocked. At least mute people instead of bothering to engage. Realize that many here have a focus close to their hearts and it might not be the same as yours. Stay united anyway. Or we have no hope of success.
Enough already. The FJB crowd was the worst and we had to endure that 4 years being alienated and further pushed apart. People who call for 47 assassination are no better! Knock it off, collaborate, and fight to better our society… not stooping to their infantile tantrum level.
Rational people know Comey wasn’t advocating violence. This is being manufactured into something nefarious in order to inhibit free speech, instill fear and squash dissent. THAT is what we should be concerned about. If Comey is used as an example, others will be afraid to speak up. Free Speech: 8647
Fear Not the Evil 'Tards(Fkkk/B/R) of the trump "Administration." They Will get their's when all is said and done, but Let's make their inherent Demise quick and painful for "them." I do Not take the "R" word lightly but "their" cognitive functions are severely lacking.
FB is a social media hellscape of bots and trolls once you post publically. I think about deleting my account constantly. So I shitpost about Suckerberg and keep in touch with my arts network who are important to me.
How many red flags do people need before we start calling this what it really is? This MAGA is the new Nazi party. If we keep pretending it’s something less serious, we’re going to end up exactly where Germany did in the 1930s and by the time people are ready to admit it, it’ll be too late.
Personally, I just can’t wait until we are through all of this and they start releasing documentaries about the diligence and dedication of Alt NPS 🍿 ✊🏼
My block finger is so sore. But I look at it and assure it that we must continue - we must go on ... because, you know, I don't want the stupid to rub off and stick to me.
This (and cheating) is how they won both Trump elections. Young Independents need to figure a way to counter and disarm the disinformation. #Anonymous can be a big help with this hint, hint!
How else are they going to get comments. Most orange anus faced turd’s followers are disgusting and uneducated. I think the only words they know are immigrant and border. When they want something they put their hand out.
And that's why current regime is really pushing for AI. To be able to control narrative. And proposed 10 year ban on any local laws regulating use of AI to make sure manipulated content fed to the unsuspected users all the time.
We read sci-fi as something that was purely fictional. I never thought in a million years that I will be living in one. Profession by Isaac Asimov is true testament to current AI applications in professional environment. I guess, I'm human and I prefer to be in the house for the feeble minded. ,:)
Out of curiosity, I joined a Trump supporter group. It’s appalling how they paint things. They 100% believe that no tax on tips and lower taxes are headed their way. They are staunchly defending the gold plated jet and they amplify posts and memes from blatantly Russian accounts. Fools, all fools
My hubs will tell me some random lib atrocity his MAGA group is talking about and then I’ll recite their talking points bc I heard it on Fox
Fox frames MAGA thinking and reiterates the main points all day long on every show. Any idiot can follow it and recite the propaganda Fox (and Putin) push out
It’s not a good replacement for FB though. I wish it had more ability to limit the scope and audience of posts and replies to say friends or followers.
They’ve been doing this even during his first campaign! People just had to argue, which made him more and more popular! Then he won! Nothing was learned and they did it again!
Would it be worth encouraging people on Facebook to join BlueSky on your posts due to this manipulation? Or would that make BlueSky a target with their troll farms?
I have not been targeted by trolls for ages now, almost a full week... 🤔
🤡🤡's dont get polite responses?
I do report and block any that start getting nasty with anyone though.
I realized after the Facebook boycott how toxic it has become and I can recognize many as bots! And I feel so compelled to respond...so I'm staying away from FB all together
I stayed off FB for a long time, and it seemed to have reset it algo for me. With far fewer toxic crap. I also started heavily using block function as I learned from bsky.
Yes! Even just scrolling you can see how it's flooded with bots, videos showing anyone brown as a criminal, white people as victims, false accounts of Republicans "owning" Democrats, and on and on. It's should just be renamed "Fascistbook."
FB's kicking me out, likely for underuse. I had a few friends I'd like to keep in touch with but to recover the acc't I have to submit to what I consider invasive and draconian violations of my right to privacy. How arrogant of the Zucker. It's just not that important to me.
Zuckerturd ruined his own platform. It sucks now. Not even worth using anymore. I mainly used it for support groups but not much support offered if always dealing with trolls.
So much of what the regime does is to cause us to not see what they are doing. People get so outraged over specific statements and actions and don't see how they fit into the larger picture. This is deliberate and everything they say and do needs to be framed in this context.
everything they say and do is ILLEGAL. and as for immunity, that's for official acts only. violating court orders and ANYTHING violating the constitution is NOT an official act and 100 percent illegal.
Narcissistic authoritarian felon sociopathic pathological liar tyrant wannabe king is bankrupting our government by dismantling, weakening it and tanking global economy so he can have COMPLETE CONTROL. Fascist oligarchy can't survive when confronted with worker solidarity! Nip them in the bud. NOW!!

That's how we stop Blue Sky from becoming Twitter.
Don't argue, block.
Bluesky has moderators that kick troublemakers off the platform.

We know you are all fighting. We won’t let you shoulder these burdens alone. I’m certain I’m not the only one to hold this sentiment.
What more could skynet what from us?
John Conner is not happy.
They believe because they simply do not hear any contrarian information: Fox = Newsmax = random YouTuber in his parents basement.
I have MAGA friends and I hear their arguments recycled.

I am learning how to refer to things without “the algo” wakes up.
It’s getting ugly.
Prepare because as I have been saying: it’s closing time soon.
So I'd say try to bring people over. But make sure to teach them that blocking is VERY effective here

Average people will suffer very much.
I made the classic barbarian mistake. Remember to pillage, THEN burn.
Stand Your Ground! ✌️💙
There was reportedly a queenMusk post with 26000 bot amplification reported
They literally get off on terrorizing anyone and anything resembling democracy.
The DOD has at least one working group whose task is to spread propaganda favorable to the government.
And when they say their stupid shit just copy and paste the facts and Information all over again.
Everyone is angry and easily engages.
Some way for average users to avoid bots and RT hoaxes.
I also wonder if there are challenges that can be posed to a suspicious account that would increase the likelihood that it is a bot.
all is lost until it isnt
Someone found some project 2025 files very recently, they plan to give Trump sole command of America’s police soon
This is in the pipeline
