If I was a landlord, I'd make a list of political terms, and use a simple SQL regex to shadowban all accounts that have any of those terms in their bios. That's probably the only way to fix social media. Sometimes I wish I was a landlord just to try and do this.

This has been solved a long while ago, for better or for worse.

See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_whistle_(politics) or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algospeak

If you have a landlord, that entity will be getting a lot of very angry correspondence from your tenants forthwith.
+have LLMs argue with the shadowbanned comments lest they catch on.
