If you are at all concerned about the rise in #racist #troll #informationsecurity here is an interesting bit of #osint on activity at one of the main sources of #harassment

This graph shows the level of activity at a fediverse site that is blocked on many or most instances and is responsible for a large amount of the attacks on #journalists #BIPOC

The point is that we can expect this trendline to extrapolate into the new year and there will be more #contentmoderation difficulties.

That is not even beginning to factor in #stateactors who undoubtedly will try to cause problems, especially as the #2024election draws closer and closer.

Not entirely sure it exactly correlates to the rise in Mastodon signups but I am sure someone has the comparison data at their fingertips.

September uptick, plateau briefly in late early October, then steady rise in November with some tapering.

@calindrome Sadly, it'll be #StateActors doing it to encourage more splits in our society by creating chaotic radicalised groups.

KGB trained operatives like #Putin thrive on chaos, they can use it to recruit people or to generally keep domestic #intelligence agencies, #police, #journalists and #politicians busy with other stuff.

The 2020 #Incel attack in #Canada probably influenced #legislation that will further divide #Liberals and #Conservatives :(

Thanks for this insight, we will keep this in mind when hashtagging.

We are not afraid of doxxers because we know they are almost all Cloucflare bots, and so-called #intelligenceAgencies and #stateActors trying to create fights between #workingPeople. We know not take them seriously at all.

We though we'd check out what was on the #Australian Broadcaster's news site (abc[dot]net.au).

Maybe we are missing out on important events. Maybe news on #JulianAssange or the state of our "#democracy".

Turns out no - nothing.
