Recently I reported on a Bot server on Mastodon that had plenty of red flags. I didn’t bother to check my own name.
Note the date.
Adding my account to the list of bots collected on that site on that date isn’t a happen chance encounter.
This confirms my suspicion that the network of “bot” imposter accounts belongs to either Yonder or theNoNewsNetwork marking the same date that the two aligned criminal orgs were unsuccessful organizing a joint bot and sock mass reporting campaign to remove my account. Their abject failure led to Remi Barrette, perhaps the most nefarious criminal without a conviction among them, to use Twitter tools, a console, to remove my account March 25th, 2022.
The reason they failed to remove my account via mass reporting is simple. Most of the resources they typically employed, the foreign bot farms that Microchip popularized, were busy working hard time spreading Russian disinformation talking points regarding Ukraine. Secondly, I had no actionable tweets or violations Erin Gallagher, Chad Loder, Jared Holt or Mike Rothschild could drum up to mass report because I, unlike them, don’t work supporting orgs undermining US Democracy. Third, I blocked around two hundred of the active sock accounts within the network including Conspirator0, Remi Barrette before the attack.
Here is Bot-Chad Loder’s account curiously listed with 10K posts.
The instance itself is all bots, generally with zero other stats, so Chad’s 10k Posts sticks out like a very sore thumb in a sea full of absolutely emptiness.
Here is the real interesting part.
I viewed the bot account haphazardly when looking at Loder’s main, hosted on kolektiva. Each instance is segregated from the others so search can be hard. For example, I can’t reach the bot account from the main Mastodon hub. Looking at Chad’s instance has some purpose because it is where all the leftwing Nazis gather.
Here is the instance moderator’s account:
Nazism, or the Nationalist-Socialist movement was always comprised of the diametric opposite sides of the political spectrum, where the two extremes had more in common ideologically than the true center. This simply means the Anarchists/Antifa movement are as dangerous as the MAGA/Fascist ones when used as a destabilizing force.
