It's also dangerous to dismiss the idea that propagandists from Russia, China and Co. aren't active on here. The way Al Jazeera, a Qatari state owned news outlet, is the most trusted source on here when it comes to Israel and Gaza news is kind of weak.

We`re never going to escape it, but I hope it's not as prevalent as it is on Facebook and twitter etc. Last time I heard anything about the topic regarding those platforms it was some surprisingly unimaginable number of corporate accounts. Like 75%. What I mean by that is people being hired by corporations to join social media platforms and pretend to be legit users interacting with others while pushing agendas, attending to damage control or recommending product.
