Anchor posting 

Anchor posting is when someone with a problematic and or controversial accounts (usually far right ) posts something on the other side of the spectrum, pandering to a more moderate thus acceptable position so their accounts won’t get banned, making the sense of the word as putting an anchor so the ship won’t detach and get lost.

“You saw his post condemning the nazi regime i thought he was a fascist himself”

“Yeah, he doesn't actually believe that, he’s just Anchor posting so his account won’t get banned this time”
