The weirdly identical Journey fan accounts are part of a network consisting of (at least) 28750 accounts created in Aug/Sept 2021. All have similar-looking random names, no tweets, few or no followers, follow similar numbers of accounts, and have liked similar numbers of tweets.
No account in this network has a unique biography. The 28750 accounts use a total of 1054 distinct biographies (including an empty biography), each of which appears on at least 11 accounts.
