Edit: Check out my reply here. This list itself is comical, but IMHO represents an early wave of the kind of nazi organizing we can expect to see on birdsite under Elon. https://kolektiva.social/@kitoconnell/109405631022091027

Over on #birdsite, @efjbgc reports that #fascists are circulating a massive list of accounts which support #antifascism. They are using this to mass report people.

It's recommended that you lock your #Twitter handle and probably be prepared to lose your birdsite account. But also, you should be considering whether you want to stay in the first place.

Content warning: Warning for antifascists on birdsite

@Mungencakes I saw you made the list!
@kitoconnell @Mungencakes
Anyone on that list, I want to follow here 😅

So on review it's clear to everyone that "the list" is kind of bs and the opposite of any kind of smart organization by the fascists. It includes dril, Britney Spears and California state parks.

However @efjbgc was still correct in bringing this to all of our attention because it's very likely the product of the same mass reporting effort which is leading to so many great accounts getting suspended on Twitter. Even if the list is silly, be cautious as this could always snowball into something more once the fash are riled up and ready to dogpile.

@kitoconnell @efjbgc ...? what does this mean? 👀 alex winter's cool, right? am i OOtL?
@lodane @efjbgc he's on the list and so he changed his icon. It's very funny

@kitoconnell @efjbgc

i guess i should have guessed there'd be "a list" made... 😔 dude's been cool lately, from what i'd seen, even if he bumbled on finer points sometimes.

@mroysterhead @phalsleyconvicted @efjbgc check the top of the thread but basically fascists are circulating a very poorly created "list of fascists"

@kitoconnell @efjbgc
Maybe don't change your handle because the fash scum that already has you on their radar will take your old handle as soon as it's up for grabs again?
@robatdteufel @efjbgc fair point, I edited accordingly
@kitoconnell @efjbgc oh wow I made the list, one step ahead of them though
@kitoconnell @efjbgc Better to leave and bring your followers elsewhere so they get less exposure to hatred. There’s no fight to be had over there.
@breadbin I completely agree. All my tweets right now are telling people to gtfo birdsite

@kitoconnell @efjbgc Any evidence that Mastodon accounts have been targeted in this sort of campaign?

I'm imagining that follow-though for these AltRight extremists is not a strong point, so even folx setting up and cross-linking to non-bird accounts with the same name are probably okay for now.

@Lexeto @efjbgc I haven't heard and hopefully they will be too busy trying to get dril and dogrates suspended to come over here to cause trouble
@kitoconnell @efjbgc Won't lie, bit proud I made the list.
@ReflexVE lol congrats I guess! you've arrived
@kitoconnell Thanks to the size of this list we gonna have the biggest party ever.
@ReflexVE I kind of want someone to make a CSV of all the people who are on the list with a Mastodon account

@kitoconnell So I wouldn't go so far as to say that the list is a verification system for antifascists, some may be plants, others may be problematics or personal grudges a fash has against someone.

But it is a good quick reference as one bit of info on who can be trusted. Not the only data, but one piece.

Also verification that we vastly outnumber the fash.

@kitoconnell @efjbgc
Thank you. I was on the weirdly, random list and went to 🔒 and changed my@.

Love that free speech over there! Appreciate you letting folks know.

@kitoconnell IMO report the app as hate-content on the App and Play Stores, and also quit using the place.
@kitoconnell ah, this may explain why I got deplatformed. My account was suspended shortly after I QT'd an article about the Colorado massacre and equated MAGA to terrorism.
@jonielena hard to know for sure of course but it seems like anecdotally people are reporting more right-wing friendly moderation decisions

@kitoconnell I was surprised when my account was suspended, I didn't post anything untrue or outrageous. It was literally just, "MAGA = terrorism"

Seems like things have really gone to shit over there

@jonielena it's about to get even worse, too! :(

@kitoconnell the end of an era.

And hopefully the start of something more equitable and democratic.

@jonielena let's hope so. I'm planning on winding down my use of that site, even though I haven't been banned. It's possible I'm still there just because I'm locked down.
