This type of nonsense is happening everywhere online. Real people who are organically participating will almost always engage on a wide variety of topics and issues; any social media account on any network that spends the majority of it's time focused on a single politicized issue or viewpoint can be assumed to be a sock puppet or a shill.

In short any account that hyper-focus on a single issue or viewpoint for more than a day or two is likely not organic and if it is organic then it's likely toxic; either way you should avoid them.
