The Russian botnet has now created over 2,500 inauthentic accounts on 180 Mastodon servers. These accounts spam propaganda, follow each other to increase federation, connect to Bluesky via the bridge to spread their content there, and create unlimited invite links for their bots to follow.

IFTAS reports each one we find, and to date roughly 60% of these accounts have been suspended.

Our AUD denylist would silence or suspend the bulk of the remaining 40% of accounts.
