I have a fairly simple question for you all.
In your experience, do sincere supporters of Ukraine usually obsess about "Ukrainian n4zis", brag about getting them suspended, and/or spam the replies of AFU defenders with hate and slander? 🤔 Sorry if that's news to anyone, but this is not okay. Image

If you are not Ukrainian, a defender, a fundraiser, and/or a volunteer in 🇺🇦, if you have nothing original and interesting to say, and still beg for >5k followers? I will presume you are more interested in farming popularity and mute you. Sorry not sorry. Let me explain why. 🧵 Image Support for Ukraine on Twitter isn't a zero-sum game, but it's not a bottomless pool that one can sip visibility from with no consequence, either. Every view, follow, retweet that goes to an artificially amplified account is one that could instead go to Ukrainians... but doesn't. Image

Let's see how well @help_mgeli's "We are NOT attacking Dimko!" is holding today... oh.
But surely, they would not be mass reporting him for what they call "death threats"... right, Mamukin? Image @help_mgeli Golly, I wish I recalled who was fawning over Mamuka's beard in every space for 3 years. Image

What kind of supposed commander ever talks like that about a woman on social media?
What kind of supposed innocent endorses a troll brigade (this one, real) spending its days and nights harassing his critics?
🧵 Image What kind of supposed commander addresses an *actual* serviceman of the AFU on social media like that?

A condensate of how @TSNUA and did *not* do its homework prior to promoting the lies of the so-called Georgian Legion's so-called "commander", Mamuka Mamulashvili.
As per the statements by @DI_Ukraine and @DefenceU, he is actually a civilian and there is no such unit the AFU. 🧵 Source 1. Since this was published, Mamuka and the GL trolls army have repeatedly alleged that Hromadske and/or the article's authors work for russian propaganda and made up the comments from GUR and Ground Forces. Except... 👇

Таку заяву ГУР @DI_Ukraine про так званий Грузинський легіон оприлюднили на сайті та в соцмережах. Це не важко відтворити, не спотворюючи значення... правда, Anakin? 🚬
Давайте подивимося, як справи у пресі. 🧵 Image #1 @pravda_eng ❌ Image

This will be a long and boring thread, but I have to include everything. Enter @JohnDow07348212, an account that went active in early 2022. Mostly English speaking, claims to be Ukrainian, interacts with foreigners for a few months, then falls silent for two years.

It seems a few of its early tweets were deleted, related to the game "Blade and Soul". The account was created in August 2021, it's possible that its handle was changed before January 2022. Image

You have some *very* weird followers for a Ukrainian claiming to be a 2014-2018 veteran.

The follows are not much better. It was kind of obvious from the discussion, but this "John" seems to be just another fake account by that weird toxic cluster of NAFO that is almost entirely there around this "John Dow".

Highly recommended read for anyone who is still wondering whether McFaul's infamous tweet was right. (mini 🧵 but I recommend you read the PDF yourself!)
Image The next @POTUS has work cut out for her. Maybe now is the time to start working on correcting this shame, by tightening export controls AND supplying a meaningful number of 🇺🇸 F-16s.

On the first picture, GL shares their screenshot of a tweet posted at 12:15 PM.
On the second picture, that same tweet as seen from my own timezone — 7:15 PM.
Who handles GL socials and lives 7 timezones west of France? 🤔
Something for the "where are my proofs" crowd to explain. Image

Who is this mysterious social media manager, and how does he sustain himself in the 🇺🇸? Image

Remember how sad #NAFOfellas were when @edwardmurrow666 left Twitter? The @georgian_legion "head adjutant" who escorted @apmassaro3 into Ukraine, worked with him and @AdamKinzinger to request aid to GL from the @DeptofDefense?
Remember when he was exposed as a complete fraud? 🌚 In case you don't, and I can't blame you with how quickly everyone swept it under the rug, here's a catch-up. This thread posted by @HunterofGrift a few months after "Ed" vanished (deleted, but saved by yours truly 🤓) sums up the character quite well.
Why was this kept silent? Image

@TPSpindel @georgian_legion Seriously, if someone can find what brigade they are *currently* under, you get a beer. They have not been under the 54th in years, and HUR is not a brigade. I donated 100€ in July 22, the only way to join NAFO back then, and I have no idea whether that got to real defenders. 🤔 Image @TPSpindel @georgian_legion What's more, it doesn't sit right with me how it was shoved under the carpet that the guy who was openly described as a "fighter at the front" and their "head adjutant" to the public, US officials, media and DoD, turned out to be a non-combatant with a rich history of fraud.

🧵 A "free speech platform"... for @elonmusk's favorite people: 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇮🇷🇰🇵-loving 5th columnists.
For the rest, particularly 🇺🇦 and supporters:
- 🤖 spam, scam, manipulation
- insane de-boosting
- arbitrary suspensions
- ineffective hate reports
- targeted divisive content
1/9
Image The main reason why @Twitter grew into the giant it was (until shamelessly sold to @elonmusk) is that it filled an important gap in public discourse. No other platform allowed small individual voices to have such a measurable effect, from culture to key state policy.

Yesterday at the Free russia Forum, everyone's eyes were on Arestovych who showered goodrussians with compliments, calling them heroes and Ukrainians "другий россияне" (other russians).
However, few paid attention to the man sitting next to him, smiling at his every word. 🧵

That would be Ilya Ponomarev, an ex russian MP. Poroshenko, by decree, granted him Ukrainian citizenship in 2019 despite his awful positions about Crimea, Maidan and Ukrainian identity. See what he wrote in 2014 on his LiveJournal.

⚠️ Still necessary reminder, apparently: every time someone retweets Anton Gerashchenko, a puppy dies somewhere. 🐶🔫
How about listening to what Ukrainians have been saying about him for years? (mini-🧵) Image 1/ He contributed to the harassment and eventual arrest of activist Roman Ratushnyi, and still tried to score points when he died at the front.

Popular pro-Ukraine accounts going into spaces held by paid russian assets to "debate" them on their terms are part of the problem. All this achieves is to amplify them, validate their methods and expose allies to their sophisticated manipulation. 🤦‍♂️ Themes heard in about half an hour listening: freezing the "conflict", questioning aid to Ukraine, WW3, proxy war and of course nuuuuuuuukes. 🫠
