Due to real-life connections some of my follows on Mastodon are local libs who keep boosting stuff like this into my timeline.

This here is an account with a huge following for Fedi standards and apparently also posts on X. Not much profile info, no banner but very reactionary. Looks to be posting like an authority on all things Russia.

This chain about Stalin is 15 posts long, I have no idea what is going on there as I am definitely not too well in the loop with the Ukraine - Russia thing, but this seems to be both anti-communist and very russophobic. Pretty sus yet the libs eat this up.

    How this anonymous account has this following on Fedi seems odd as well. They seem to be posting a lot of compelling narratives on how the Russian state mistreats soldiers, but then there is also this. And suddenly a post about how the warring sides love Warhammer imagery or something.

    A very bizarre account for sure. I know nothing about how to assess propaganda, but if I’d have to imagine it, this would be it.
