that's an incredible amount of death threats it's almost as if the number was complete made up
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
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.
Oh shit oh fuck now i got Hotel California stuck in my head again. Last time that happened i couldn't sleep until i could play the bassline (btw it's a pretty good bassline even though i hate the fucking Eagles).
Life is like a video game, if you meet enemies, it means you're going the right way.

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
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 like how her example of a death threat is not any one of the things she mentioned
Where here!
She is so mad she can't even get her spelling right lmao
No, it's mean...won't stop her from elevating it to "death threat".
Being called a TERF is equivalent to threats of murder or rape...didn't you know? No use for distinction when you have a product to sell.
Which would compel you to download her app more?:
"I received 10 death threats & 120 rude messages, and 200 other people elsewhere on the internet are saying they hope I have stroke"
OR
"Here's 4 of about 72 million death/rape/abuse threats (sic) I've received in the past two days!"?
She took my comment (on a forum she would have no interest in):
"...like yeah, go die. Support for all trans comrades, LGBTQ community, and feminists. Death to the transphobes"
and is using it as if I DMed her a threat on her life. I'd never send anyone a death threat under any circumstances, but I'll root for bad things to happen to bad people. She's using disdain for transphobes on an **explicitly anti-transphobic ** ebsite to sell people on their app predicated on transphobia It's disgusting.
I read some variation of "communists should be shot" every single fucking day, yet I don't treat it as a threat on my life.
i almost just burst out laughing in the middle of class :che-laugh:
