Reminder to double check your hashtags when posting especially when you use twitter's autofill.

There are troll groups that pose as pro-people but will spam the use of a mistyped hashtag in order to remove the original hashtag from trending. This is usually done at non-peak hours so they can dominate and trend.
With the misspelled hashtag being the one people generally use at that time even people with legit calls who use twitter's autofill will unknowingly use the misspelled one.
And since more and more people will use the misspelled one, there would be less and less tweets with the proper hashtag and slowly will be removed from the trending section.
It's like instead of having 100 tweets for the proper hashtag what would happen is that it would be split like 50 tweets proper, 50 tweets misspelled.
After this, they will spam another hashtag like #YesToAntiTerrorBi-ll which would then garner 100 tweets thus dethroning the legit call.
This also happened with the oust hashtag where "Duterte" became "Durere".
So please double check your hashtags, and your privilege for those who still support the terror bill.
