One of the many threads of Matt Donovan, AKA amagicwindow, going out and spilling how his team operates, projecting of course to the side over Yonder.
Astroturfing, which is what most of Donovan’s band of misfits did, coming from out of town to run a political influence operation, is pretty standard fair. What wasn’t was Matt, Nicole and others use of Gamer Gate tactics, to threaten and intimidate pro recall voters.
One of those tactics, adopted from the Tulsi Gabbard digital soldier campaign is the attack and block. Here is Matt or another account holder within his network deploying that aggressive tactic.
The above is the endgame part of another trolling tactic, known as wedging, using keyword search to find supporters of the target, in this case @BaddCompani and attack first the character of the primary target, and if that doesn’t work to insult and anger the supporter. If they achieve outrage they trigger mass reporting strikes via their network of bots and sock accounts.
And another of Matt’s socks, this one mentioning “John Brown was right,” indicating this is account is likely to advocate extreme violence.
This was also an empty account since minting October 2015, and activated July 20, 2020 similar to other accounts held by operators within his organization. His network uses a ton of these inauthentic accounts for their Ops, making attacks on people feel like it is a lot of people when it really is just Matt himself doing so, most of the time.
And Chirpty, noting a load of Op accounts, because everybody loves Chirpty.
