The Fediverse is increasingly used by state-sponsored disinformation and propaganda agents. We track accounts believed to be operated by the agencies and/or contractors, and we request account removals via reports, DMs, and email communications with affected service providers.

One particular activity is believed to be the actions of the Portal Kombat network, aka “Pravda network”, which has created thousands of accounts on hundreds of servers.

A public list of accounts being monitored is now available.

If you have received a notice from IFTAS, please reply if you believe we have misidentified any account. Our false positive rate as of Apr 2026 is 14 of 2,140 accounts identified.

If you agree the accounts identified are inauthentic, consider investigating any common identifiers such as shared MX records, and using those to flag, limit, or block account creation.

Example Accounts

Some providers do not remove these accounts when notified (and then may be added to the IFTAS AUD Denylist), therefore the accounts below represent a sample of what these accounts look like, what they post, how they present themselves. This may help admins and moderators in identifying these accounts, and identifying common IP addresses and MX records that can be used to flag or suspend new registrations from this network.
