‘He lived by the troll, he dies by the troll’: Putin takes on Prigozhin’s business empire

As Wagner mercenaries captured a major Russian military base and began their armed march on Moscow, members of Russia’s federal security services stormed one of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s headquarters in St Petersburg.

“More than 40 Chinese security officers and their associates wielded thousands of fake social-media personas to discredit American policies and set up a secret police station in New York City to harass China’s critics, U.S. prosecutors charged in three complaints unveiled Monday.”

A troll farm is active on Mastodon. I’m going to post profiles from them.

They’re posting nonsense, hoping to start conflict.

This us typical and boring troll farm behavior. They’ll try to get under your skin and get you to argue.

Just block and report. Reporting is key.

A Ukrainian-language domain on a german TLD probably on a server in Estonia registered by someone in Oregon, USA? 🤔 #defederation #trollfarm #UkraineWar

i just banned "soc.ua-fediland.de" from my instance #defederation #trollfarm #UkraineWar

@comfort @shaman

😁

Yeah, I know. I'll try to.

But it's also community and being accepted'n stuff.

Gotta find a good path here. I don't want #Mastodon to become a second giant #trollfarm neither.

Just a little less stiff, that's all.

We'll see. The future is totally open here

@andreabont @spiritum Per "pura casualità" anche noi siamo stati defacciati e attaccati prima del cambio di server, e per "pura casualità" tra le #fontirusse gira la teoria per cui i circuiti di #factchecking europei sono "Falsi circuiti" mentre quelli veri sono le loro #trollfarm

@factcheck hai un contatto con il corriere, oppure hanno un account su mastodon.uno? @corriere ci sei?

😀

I troll russi colpiscono ancora, questa volta con i missili!

@factcheck facciamo un po' di debunking? Come si chiama questo, clickbait?

#troll #trollfarm #polonia #disinformazione #propaganda #clickbait

@valigiablu il punto 1 é il nocciolo della questione. Per esempio ieri sera sono andato a letto leggendo che la Russia aveva attaccato la Polonia, con questo titolo del corriere: "I missili russi caduti in Polonia: la crisi in diretta". Oggi rallentano: "due missili, forse russi ma non è ancora provato".

Ma se non ci sono prove, perché sono russi? É una configurazione di default?

Le #trollfarm di #Russia esistono. In questo caso un canale dedicato all'#ufologia si converte in improbabile ente di #factchecking filorusso producendo articoli veritieri come l'avvistamento dello Gnomo Armato di Ascia e dalla stessa verosimiglianza, ad uso propaganda

Russ Bot Attack on Midterms 2/x
Per #theohoresh "The whole internet may be being hit by a #Russian #bot and troll attack... we may need to dramatically alter the nature of our work".

He is right we need to assess, reframe & respond whether or not St Pete's #trollfarm is at work

Wer hätte es gedacht? In den Pro-#Putin-Gruppen gibt es massiv Sockenpuppen-Accounts und #bezahlte Kommentare. #Meta hat eine #Trollfarm hochgenommen. Der dazugehörige #Telegram-Kanal hat über 100.000 Abonnenten. https://volksverpetzer.de/social-media/bezahlte-pro-putin-kommentare-meta-nimmt-trollfarm-hoch/ #Ukraine #Putin #Querdenker

Note the paltry likes and shares, and the dimension B commentary.
