Who programmed the bot? You were THIS close to 420.69 death threats.
it's obviously just noise from the 53,130 other people who sent in death threats over the 48 hours, with a period of one death threat every 3 and a quarter seconds
that's an incredible amount of death threats it's almost as if the number was complete made up
Well it's a good goal to strive for
hmmm... it's almost like she just pressed alternate sides of the keypad until she had a nice looking number, hmmmmmm... after all, it's not like anybody would ever just lie on the internet
I would write a bot that spams 420.69 ppb's every minute
but what about one that does 420.69 per second?
I don't think the universe is ready for that density of posting yet.
we shall see, honestly I think if everyone one the site banded together we probably could maintain a rate of 420.69 ppbs per minute for at least 15 to 20 minutes, even without bots. It could be like that thing in Hiroshima where people send in 10,000,000 paper cranes every year for the arty thing that's put up by the memorial, but with exponentially more libs
I feel like this has to be real because weed number big funny. It's just screams leftist humor.
Edit: I know it's bullshit, but I REALLY want to believe it's real because weed number do be big funny.
No way it's a real number.
Even with bots, 72 MILLION messages would require a ton of server capacity over just two days. Hell, it's probably more traffic than her entire company gets in a month. Wikipedia gets like 100-200 requests per server per second.
She blocked Twitter users for calling her a TERF, which means you'd have to generate new profiles just so she could receive them, along with unique emails for each, making sure they're not all coming from the same IP address.
No one running bot accounts going to:
- Risk getting huge numbers of their bots banned by tying them all to one super targetted harassment campaign
OR
- Waste the money/compute needed to send millions of messages per account when sending 50-100 messages would have the same effect.
How would she even be able to determine that number? She's not gonna sift through 72 million messages just to count the number of threats down to the last digit. The lil badge counters for messages/replies/etc max out at 3-4 digits, so she'd have to use a 3rd party client that displays that number to even know how many messages she had.
Far more likely she's exaggerating the number to sell the need for her product.
I'm getting in on the bandwagon while I still can

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
