Even for tiny, tiny social media platforms like the fediverse, the current propaganda/misinformation campaign is tailor-made for the expected audience.
E.g., on Facebook it might be enough to post AI slop depicting Trump as a saint. Here, that won't fly. You have to understand that a lot of lefties and educated people reside here, so you just have to point the undecided to a third party. Maybe you're not even after the actual undecided, spreading FUD is usually good enough. And a healthy dose of "both sides"!

Of course, it's vital to omit the fact that FPTP systems always devolve into two-party systems (a fact well understood), and you're good to go. Easy rubles probably.
