Hydrafold
The frustrating phenomenon where blocking, muting, or banning one annoying account, bot, or topic on social media causes the algorithm to immediately spawn multiple new, identical ones on your timeline. Derived from the mythical Greek Hydra (cut off one head, two grow back) and the multiplier suffix "-fold.
I blocked one climate crazy account today, and now Facebook is spawning hydrafold new climatecrazies on my timeline. It's like the algorithm is punishing me!”
