AMERIA FIRST!!!! Typos - the gift that keeps on giving. #AmeriaFirst
Here's an obvious bot: @MagaNewsB. Its recent tweets have an amusing typo: #AmeriaFirst rather than #AmericaFirst. A potential pitfall of automation is that if you accidentally configure a bot to tweet a typo, it'll tweet the same typo over and over, and the typo may proliferate.
The first use of the hashtag typo (#AmeriaFirst) is this tweet from @FoundFathersC on 8/6. Subsequently, it spread to 14 other accounts - and the first four uses were within five minutes.
Let's expand the set and check for bots. Searching for #AmeriaFirst and links to truthnation(dot)org yields 79 accounts with original tweets (not RTs) in the last 10 days.
Of these 79 accounts, 53 tweet 24/7 and/or post 90% of their tweets via automation services (for this group, 98% of the tweets are via Hootsuite). The account names also seem to conform to some kind of pattern. Maybe the “Book of Names for Baby Bots?
The main function of this network appears to be to tweet links to truthnation(dot)org. We haven't run across this particular site before, but it appears to be a hybrid of a right-wing news site and clickbait.
Thanks @ZellaQuixote for strategic/research assistance with this thread.
