    Right, but you’re talking about someone who is already pro -Trump. I’m talking about people who are undecided, but potentially pro-Trump.

    Trolls most definitely infiltrate Left spaces, but undecided (which in practice means uninterested) voters who lean rightwards don’t, and they’re the ones that might be swayed towards Trump by arguments against a given Democrat candidate.

      Hm, not sure of any of that. Since it’s a federated instance, people from many different spaces can read and be targeted by anything in here. Thinking from a manipulation point of view, it’s a platform that goes beyond the instance’s orientation.
