#whacamole

2025-06-19

Noticed another sudden burst of [Country/Region/City name]@[server name] accounts with non-existent profile details posting news articles without comment.
Still unclear whether they are bots or what their intentions are.
Are they trying to "normalise" their presence in the Fediverse in preparation for... what?
So, another round of "whac-a-mole" indefinite muting to improve signal-to-noise ratioπŸ˜“

Have seen an increase of posts by relatively new accounts of the [Country or City name]@[server name] variety with a flag or city logo as profile picture and non-existent profile details.
The posts are mainly news items associated with the country/city in the account name without comment.
Not sure if they're simply trying to establish an automated Fediverse presence, but in preparation for...what?
So, have been muting, but it's beginning to look like "whac-a-mole" time.

The future of what, exactly?

The next big algorithmic voice amplifier?

Moderated by a group of marginalized people, severely underpaid for the time they spend playing #whacamole shielding #evil from the eyes of all its users fighting for any power over influence they can get.

Controlled by a conglomerate of successful entrepreneurs looking only to give them a big enough taste to keep them hooked on building their #following for a bigger passive income stream.

Which leads to the raging river of #DATA mined for #NUGGETS converted into #CASH by the person (entity) pulling the strings.

Or, is it something else?
