As tempting as it is to engage on Social Media on public political posts, it’s a bad idea unless you know the person you’re engaging with. Meta reports that ~4% of active users are fake. They took down 1.1 to 1.4 Billion fake accounts per quarter in 2024-2025. Fake accounts engage in Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior (CIB): swarming controversial topics and making inflammatory statements, driving up engagement. I had suspected this for a while and found the data to back it up directly from Meta’s transparency site:
I am careful
I have to be careful. My wife is a school teacher and men of her parents and some students see what I talk about. So I tread in with care.
This has become my social media.
It is not that I feel protected here and I have a lot to say. I’m really pissed at The current regime in the state of the United States. I’m embarrassed to live here.
That being said
I try to offer little quirky slices of life, and hopefully a glimmer of hope for some people and hopefully just enough information so people know how I feel.
