We are under an incredibly sophisticated PSYOP (psychological operation) Psychological operations are operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior. It's not just Gab they are attacking, it's you.
We believe this is all being done by a state actor, more specifically the deep state.
What are they doing?
1. They have created a sophisticated spam bot system to follow users across the site and scare them off Gab. These bots are harmless. All they do is follow you to annoy you and get you to leave Gab. Don't fall for it. Simply block and report them or ignore them, we are detecting them quickly and removing them fast. These bots have spam links to porn sites in their bios. Again they are harmless, just block/report.
2. They are fedposting (threats of violence, encouraging others to get violent, doxxing government officials, etc) This operation is highly sophisticated. Whoever is behind it knows how Gab works, they know how Gab Trends works, they know how Dissenter works. They have spent a very long time learning how to use Gab, but they don't know Gab better than we do. Their goal with this operation is to smear Gab and make our community look like a bunch of violent extremists. They also want to scare you off of Gab. Do not fall for it. You can read more on this operation and how we stopped it in its tracks here: https://news.gab.com/2020/12/10/gabs-statement-on-the-website-targeting-u-s-election-officials/
Why are they doing this?
The powers that be see that Gab's growth over the past few months has been explosive. They want to scare you off of Gab and back into the arenas they control: Facebook and Twitter. They also want to give the legacy media ammo to smear Gab with. We saw media outlets who instantly knew about the fedposting accounts even before we did. Perhaps they are in on the operation, which wouldn't surprise me. The timing is too coincidental.
What can you do?
Remain vigilant. If you see bots, block and report them. If you see accounts that are posting threats or encouraging violence, block and report them. Do not fall for this psyop campaign designed to push you off of Gab and back into the mind prison of Facebook. My hope is that by sharing all of this information with you, you can help others in the community understand what is going on and help us seek and destroy accounts tied to this PSYOP.
