FactsLens campaign report: coordinated multi-platform cluster network, 2026-11-14
Staged Propaganda / influence operation · confidence high · one campaign · recommended: human review
Fifteen clusters on Mastodon, Bluesky and Telegram share accounts, servers, links and copy-paste templates within a single day (2026-11-14, +0h00 to +8h17 UTC). The overlap is too extensive to be a coincidence or a single newsroom: A1 appears in 10 clusters, A2 in 7, A3 and A4 in 6, and several clusters reuse the same servers and domains. The strongest ordinary explanation is a coordinated network of newly created, low-reach accounts posting translated templates in multiple languages to amplify pro-Russia / anti-Western political disinformation and distorted real events. Judgment: staged (high confidence). Campaign type: propaganda with bot-like fake amplification.
Strongest innocent explanation considered: A newsroom's several feed accounts, fans, or disclosed bots could coincidentally share a hashtag (#putin, #trump in C15) or a single link, but they would not explain A1 appearing in 10 clusters across Mastodon, Bluesky and Telegram, accounts with 0-1 followers created 4-33 days ago, copy_paste/synchrony/repetition signals, or pravda_sources/telegram_first tags (A1, C1-C15; A1-A60).
- A1 appears in C1,C2,C3,C4,C5,C6,C7,C8,C11,C12 (10 clusters); A2 in C1,C3,C5,C11,C12,C13,C15 (7 clusters); A3 in C2,C4,C5,C6,C7,C10 (6 clusters); A4 in C1,C3,C9,C11,C12,C15 (6 clusters).
- Servers repeat across clusters: social.roadfm.fr in C1,C5,C8 (A1,A5,A7,A30,A31,A33,A41,A43,A50,A51); social.y-gallery.net in C6,C7,C9,C10,C13 (A3,A6,A9,A12,A13,A15,A21,A24-A28,A36-A40,A42,A44-A60); truthsocial.co.in in C5 (A34) and C13 (A47).
- Links/domains repeat: qr.nspk.ru in C1,C3; gallery.rybar.ru in C2,C5; telegra.ph in C6,C7; geopoliticsprime.substack.com in C11,C12; max.ru/colonelcassad in C13.
- Timing overlaps: all clusters fall on 2026-11-14 between +0h00 and +8h17 UTC, with a dense burst from +5h30 to +8h17 (P1-P45; cluster time ranges).
