I have seen this kind of fake account stuff going rampant across most platforms these days.

With Meta pushing for people to have multiple accounts now and making it easier to do that; its no wonder there are more showing up on their platforms. I have a feeling they are related to some political stuff and will flip to the political gibberish quickly once they have enough band follow-backs. That will give them a platform to post crap and by the time they are caught their rhetoric is already out and its too late.

I don't have any specific information to help just that this happened in past elections too.

Interesting point, I’ll watch to see if these accounts convert to political accounts, one of the accounts I’m watching has changed their name 3 times in the last couple months so I wouldn’t be surprised if it flips towards a political account like you are hypothesizing

You see the same with those "impossible math problems" that are just badly written middle school problems. They get a lot of engagement then sell the account to another user (often political) to spam whatever message they have.
