X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

SEO, AEO and GEO for communities, oh my!
What does it mean?
What strategies are working?
Is AI really killing traffic?
How can we appear on AI overviews? And how it works for me within hours.

Whilst I've kind of always built community this way, I feel like doubling down on building our own thing is empowering us even more.
I can create something that changes our own world, that might end up changing the world.
