Elon Musk said he’d eliminate bots from X. Instead, election influence campaigns are running wild. (restofworld.org)

My abandoned account gets about 1 new follower per day and I don't post shit. Totally legitimate behavior from 1Lq94cmbVrJ3E.

I stopped using twitter ages ago but I left my account intact with a long, random password. I should check my number of followers, except that would probably mean logging in. I’m curious now.

You should use one of these nitter instances so you can see your follower count without logging in

Thanks! I don't even have 200 followers, so I'm too small to be important and visible. Which is exactly how I like to be.
