I love the this

and your definition of Hasbara trolls should be on Wikipedia and in Dictionaries

Hasbara trolls - paid agents or in some cases volunteers promoting an openly racist, anti-Arab, anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian, pro-genocide narrative that supports the positions of the Israeli regime.

Anything to dampen the enthusiasm of pro-Palestinian campaigners, or scare them off from sharing content or speaking out, or confuse them by introducing ideas that may cause them to question their positions....

I have found a lot more freedom to share political content on MeWe. However, I would advise taking a core group of friends there with you, as otherwise you may have a hard time finding people to connect with. A friend of mine invited me to join them on MeWe, and I'm glad I added it. I'm not on X, but your remarks here are making me re-examine that option.

in other words, if no one is there, there aren't any trolls and we can speak freely?
