The IMS weaponizes @ap.brid.gy to cross-post from Mastodon to Bluesky in coordinated waves, laundering narratives from sanctioned Russian outlets (RT, Sputnik, Pravda Network) and pro-Russian Telegram channels before moderation catches up.

โžก๏ธ Mastodonโ€™s per-instance moderation lets Roska Bridge stay online even after partial Bluesky takedowns. โžก๏ธ The promotion of MAX, a state-backed Russian messaging app requiring a Russian phone number, suggests the IMS targets domestic Russian audiences as well as Western ones.

โžก๏ธ Near-identical posts across Roska Bridge and the Pravda Network constitute indicators of CIB and strongly suggest a structural link with the Pravda ecosystem, although without formal proof. ๐Ÿ“ฉ For any questions about this report, please contact us at info@checkfirst.network.
