The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has developed a new software suite, driven by Google Gemini, Open AI and Anthropic’s Claude, that helps party members generate so-called “rage bait” social media postings.
Central to the new campaign is the Alternita platform, registered to the AfD’s general secretary Hans-Holger Malcomeß, which promises users social media posts “in five minutes, with your positions, in your style, your branding”.
In the case of the AfD, an undercover investigation by Germany’s Correctiv outlet revealed how, in a few clicks, a populist article can be turned into provocative posts to flood social media feeds.
That’s why you:
-Report (Protect others)
-Don’t interact (Don’t give them engegement)
-Block (Protect yourself)
-Move on without thinking about it (Be happy)
Yes… but how do we get this (basic) understanding to millions of people lacking it?
It worked relatively well on Bluesky during the last coordinated, bot supported right wing extremist influence attack. I don’t think you can reclaim platforms that have already been taken over (twitter, meta shit etc.). There, just delete your account.
