Are any of these accounts legitimate?

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 251 points 7 months ago (1 children)

As can be clearly seen by the legitimacy indication hyper checkmark super check, only the last one is legit.

No seriously, I the the first is his real account and the second is a Twitter clone
