        Yes it is, they’re clearly not a real person yet they’re trying to post as if they’re a normal user.

          How would you define “astroturfing”? (I’ll give you a hint: it doesn’t mean “person I disagree with”)

            Organisation or group trying to pass off as a real grassroots level individual advocating for a cause.

            Astroturf is fake grass(roots).

              Ok and how does that definition apply to a user that has posted less than one topical news article per day and zero vote manipulation?

                Because they’re not a real user, and the account will stop posting after tomorrow?

      You’re telling me the account “BlueWave_2024” is going to disappear after the 2024 election? What would lead you to such a bold conclusion?

        I hope he does lose.

        I still won’t be seeing these American political propaganda accounts after the election, so you’re irrelevant comment is irrelevant.
