Step by step guide to 'calming down' a sustained bot/troll attack. With explainers, and pictures. Moment (used to use, not recently) and the r/w use now, the 'marked tweet' system:

1. You write a tweet that triggers todays algorithm, Johnson's baby, S#n front page, new app /1
2. It will be a while. 2-4 hours usually.
3. First, a moderate reply comes, from a decent follower number account. See 1st pic.
4. It's decent - you engage.
5. Handles, usually more ardent, & extreme who you have never engaged with 'like' the tweet, randomly /2
6. See the likes? 49 within minutes of the reply.
7. That's way more than would reply, without ever engaging. None of these did.
8. They know 'where' the tweet is to attack
9. If I hadn't blocked all, most would have hammered my t/l /3
Not all are bots. Bots have no memory. When I look at that reply in a mo, it will be >49. It rarely, as a seed will go to more than circa 200. The op account may or may not be involved. Not sure...but the farms have harvested 'her' tweet. If the likes randomly go up - BLOCK.
Here is the proof, her first reply lots of likes, 2nd has 4, 3rd has zero...this is how attacks come. The blocked were MAGA, WTO, anti Muslim, pro Patel etc...hope that helps. /End.
