RexDouglass · x · 2026-09-12
A follow-up in RexDouglass's thread about suspicious attack accounts on X: he talked to one account for a whole week, confirming it was a real person generating rage-bait comments on oddly specific conservative ideological angles, with no authentic behavior otherwise. Every big thread attracts them like ticks. Same story as the thread's main post; details merged there.
