Bad actors must develop new methods for breaking the information loop for platforms with chronological feeds like Mastodon.

Such methods may include:

• Manipulating content moderation policies in a way that favors desired speech. • Coordinate efforts to co-opt dissenting opinions in a way that weakens peoples' willingness to express their views over time. • Flood feeds at opportune times when dissenting posts gain traction. • Continuity in a single narrative across a select group of prominent Posters. • Targeted amplification of specific articles and posts that do not provide new information but continue to push a single narrative. • A reduced ability for Aggregators to aggregate. Whether it be from suppressing dissenting speech or reasonable doubt of authenticity.
