Is the account you're looking at really that of a genuine person?

It's been about six months since I revived my X account, which I had quit before.
I n fact, I've been on Twitter for so many years now that I can't even remember when I started. This third comeback has been with a private account.
At the same time, my frequency of tweeting has significantly decreased.
In reality, I occasionally look at it and find that I am merely engaging in what could be considered a nuisance time-killer debate or just messing around with a friend, responding to an annoying account.
In the past, I used to post private things and photos without much thought, but now, I don't have the courage to do such things.
X has become a lawless place these days. Exposing your private life here for likes is like jumping into a mob of rioters, completely defenseless.
That's how I've been interacting with X, but I've noticed something.

Among the people posting on X, there are those who, clearly incited by someone, make aggressive statements unconsciously, and people of considerable social standing who hurl terrible words at those with differing opinions, words they would generally not use in everyday life. This tendency is noticeable not only among those with leftist views but also among those with rightist inclinations.
What I particularly noticed is that people with ample discernment are clearly using those who admire them to engage in acts of harassment, provoking endless, futile debates against individuals with differing opinions from themselves.

I believe that there are many impersonator accounts on X.

As mentioned earlier, an account claiming to be a certain university professor was repeatedly engaging in incitement. This made me suspicious, so with the help of a friend, I researched the posts of that account and even inquired with the university.

The result was almost certainly that it was a fake, leading to the conclusion that it might be an impersonator account.

Eventually, as soon as someone influenced by this account said they would go to a lecture at the university to meet them, the account was deleted and vanished.

It might have been an account created from the start to exploit and manipulate innocent people.

The account, which claimed to be that professor, was overly oppressive about non-existent histories of Hokkaido and excessively tried to lead students to the Communist Party, the Social Democratic Party, anti-nuclear, and anti-discrimination movements, probably with that intention in mind.

X is a wonderful tool that easily allows for interactions with people we would not meet or talk to in real life.

However, it is also true that it is full of people with malicious intent.

Let's think calmly. Is the account you're looking at really that of a genuine person?

You might end up in trouble if you don't discern carefully.

Thank you for reading to the end. I apologize for the rambling nature of this text.
