minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-89•edit-216 days agoOh look it’s that blue_wave account come to astroturf. Won’t be seeing you after the election will we?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink48•16 days agoYou’re telling me the account “BlueWave_2024” is going to disappear after the 2024 election? What would lead you to such a bold conclusion?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-2•16 days agoYes it is, they’re clearly not a real person yet they’re trying to post as if they’re a normal user.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•16 days agoHow would you define “astroturfing”? (I’ll give you a hint: it doesn’t mean “person I disagree with”)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-2•edit-216 days agoOrganisation or group trying to pass off as a real grassroots level individual advocating for a cause. Astroturf is fake grass(roots).
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•16 days agoOk and how does that definition apply to a user that has posted less than one topical news article per day and zero vote manipulation?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-2•16 days agoBecause they’re not a real user, and the account will stop posting after tomorrow?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•16 days agoSo all campaigning is astroturfing? That doesn’t meet your own definition.
