Really?

I really did not think that #Trump would have either the interest or the courage to show up

"They died just one day after the U.S. and Israel launched its military campaign against Iran."

But why would Trump give up the opportunity to be center-stage for a moment and create a photo op or two for self-promotion on #TrumpSocial or whatever it is?

#Xitter posts are called "tweets."

#Mastodon posts are called "toots."

It is only logical that #TrumpSocial posts should be called "twats."

"#Birdsite, #Shitter, #Axe - gosh it's so confusing!"

"Yeah, but the rebranding as #TrumpSocial is well under way."

"You mean almighty IronMan Elron has turned into a retarded grandpa's pet?"

@josh
Thank you for the heads-up!

The recent news that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse reach 15 Million accounts, while #TrumpSocial reaches only 5 Million users, was bound to attract the manipulators and malicious players. They haven't figured out yet how to subvert Mastodon (unnoticed, at least), but give them some time, and they will.

Some time back, a professional Facebook group I admin was nearing 4K members. I was suddenly getting a ton of bot accounts trying to join, porn post attempts, and the like. Apparently, 4K is the magic number for attracting the scammers, spammers, and weirdos there.

We will all have to keep a vigilant eye out, from here on in.

[Translation for others like me, who had to look up the term: #Astroturfing means "the practice of hiding the sponsors of a message or organization (e.g., political, advertising, religious, or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from, and is supported by, grassroots participants."]
