Uhhh, fascist Alex Jones is on mastodon.
https://brighteon.social/@AlexJones
Guessing fediverse admins may want to block that instance (it calls itself "The pro-liberty social network" which is fash speak)
Just a heads up to anyone who isn't a fascist lol
@romainelaprophetesse thanks for the heads up, will block them now
@patience @dankwraith @franklinlopez
alerta antifascista
@romainelaprophetesse Thanks for the head up
c/c @Sylvhem (yeah I need to fix the bots asap)
@romainelaprophetesse @Sylvhem does not hesitate to report users who do not respect the rules of the instance
Doing so with the reporting feature is the best way for us to deal with them
@milia Yikes. Thanks for warning us.
@romainelaprophetesse 699 followers 🚨 alerta antifscista 🚨
@_joe_merrick1312_ going thru the follower list now to find instances that aren't blocked
@romainelaprophetesse @_joe_merrick1312_ Thanks for doing this. I imagine some fascists saw the IG ban stuff and started new instances to try to sneak their way into our timelines, but it never works out for them Thanks to the fact that we have people like you and excellent moderators. It's also possible to block entire instances on the user level.
@free_appalachia @_joe_merrick1312_ didn't know that last part ✍🏾
@free_appalachia @_joe_merrick1312_ other ppl should definitely also do this tho bc maybe ppl who've been on here longer than us will notice things we miss
@romainelaprophetesse @_joe_merrick1312_ edit: If you are using the tusky app, go to the profile of the user you want to block and in the top right corner there is the three dots, in that menu you can hide the whole instance.
@free_appalachia @romainelaprophetesse didn’t know thanks!!!
@free_appalachia @romainelaprophetesse you’re welcome but I just boosted the alert 🖤
thank you!!! @romainelaprophetesse
-just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.-
@slimewolf @romainelaprophetesse Already had them blocked!
@goat oh sweet
@romainelaprophetesse this server already blocked them.
i'm still trying to work out if it's serious or sarcastic. in these Onion times, it can be hard to tell.
@romainelaprophetesse Other than the name “REAL ALEX JONES”, I can’t seem to find anything that actually links that account to Alex Jones. How did you find that account?
@robby Looking through "Recently joined" in the Profile Directory
Even if it's not him it's still a fash instance tho
@romainelaprophetesse heads up to cybre admins @nightpool and @chr about this!
@glitternoodle @nightpool @patience instance blocked
Yep, we're on it. Thanks.
@subMedia @fruechtchen @rixx We have blocked this instance a while ago. It's bad news..
caps
@romainelaprophetesse WOAH WHAT LMAO I THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST A NEW CHUD INSTANCE LOL
@romainelaprophetesse the most #FediBlock thing I've seen in a while
@romainelaprophetesse oh my god their terms of service
@aphyr @romainelaprophetesse Yup all those violent Antifa thugs and their bike locks, they've killed <looks up statistics> nones of people....
@Capheind @romainelaprophetesse picturing the lawyer that had to look at this 🤣
@aphyr @romainelaprophetesse <reading first draft> WTF! You cant say "will happily host video of Nazis murdering college students "
@Capheind @aphyr @romainelaprophetesse Okay, I've gotta hear, what's the connection with antifa and bike locks?
@Lofenyy @aphyr @romainelaprophetesse I think one guy smacked a nazi with one during a protest and its been a rightwing talking point ever since.
@romainelaprophetesse I hate how he parades all the platforms he's been banned from (which includes Mastodon...?). Anyone with a hint of self awareness should ask "is the problem with me?"
@romainelaprophetesse Let's just... go into "following"... and see what we can do!
Thank you for the heads up, forwarded this info to our admin.
@romainelaprophetesse thx. Gets a domain block in my instance.
@romainelaprophetesse
From their "About" page:
> The very idea that a tech company led by communists and radical left-wing socialists could claim a monopoly on “facts” is absurd. No one has a monopoly on facts, and the entire fact-checking fiasco […] has boiled down to politically targeted censorship run by radical left-wing propagandists who are truly mentally ill in the fact that they actually believe their delusions are an accurate map of reality.
'nuff said.
@romainelaprophetesse oops i tripped and got a list of everyone following him. https://pastebin.com/nEDwgwpN
It's looking like the majority of the accounts on brighteon are just bots.
@kittenlikeasmallcat @romainelaprophetesse Hey that's really nice data!
I'm quite new still, what can I as an individual do with this? Is there some kind of app to automatically block the ppl on the list? Or did you just post it as an info?
Hope the question doesn't sound wrong or silly, I honestly don't mean it like that :)
@ernstlichp You're good! Probably wise to block all these instances. You can also look into any of these accounts at your leisure, and see if you can find something interesting. For example, I just found a fake donald trump successfully soliciting massive bitcoin donations. Which is not how I thought I'd spend my morning but ok.
