Just wanted to say, I appreciate the PSAs in the Iran thread about how to handle information and such. It’s such an important reminder. @cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml @SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml
And thank you @rainpizza@lemmygrad.ml and others for the work on gathering sourced information.
Stay steadfast. 🙏
Glad that I could help. Not gonna lie but the psyop are getting wild. There are too many zionist bots active even in Iranian channels.
I can’t just imagine the amount of psyops comrades are receiving right now.
This is nothing unusual for those of us who have been following the Ukraine conflict since the start. There were times when there was an absolutely insane amount of bots. Russian speaking spaces were (and still are) heavily targeted. Even now there is always some Ukrainian psyop even in “pro-Russian” telegram channels. You can’t prevent all infiltrations, but with time and experience you learn to recognize the bullshit.
Right now there is a big blitz of botting and information warfare, but eventually it will calm down and there will be concrete on-the-ground results that will be impossible to deny (like how Ukraine can spin all the tall tales and put out all the deep-fakes it wants, but sooner or later Russian advances get undeniably geolocated). It’s why i recommend stepping back and waiting if you are unsure what is trustworthy at the moment.
