@Caudill Torbo has pulled some sketchy stuff - much of which I was unaware of until I made an account here (on Goodchild's advice). Once I saw that, combined with the banning of Dread and a few other people pointing out botting, fake user engagement and some really capricious modding I knew it was only a matter of time.If you want to talk to some of the guys like @p and @graf they can give you a much better rendition of the things that went down.

@SilverDeth @Caudill @graf Oh, yeah, the "we have a million users" was, while they were present on fedi, like, they had, over the course of three months, 27,000 users that were actually active and made at least one post, and only 9,000 that made more than one post. This includes bots, some of which posted several times per minute. I had to implement k-means clustering and a bunch of heuristics to stop the botflood; the one I eventually settled on was brutally simple but effective: segmenting by activity type ("Create"/"Announce", at the protocol level, which are posts/reposts, versus other types, likes/follows/etc.; the idea was spambots are mostly interested in doing things that cause you to see the spam) and then count activities by hour of the day (the idea being that bots don't sleep). So, at least 99% visible activity as the filter and then sort by variance across time of day and manual review (no automated blocking, and bots that said "I'm a bot" or whatever were fine).

@graf @SilverDeth @Caudill During the time Gab federated, FSE had more activity than Gab. Now that it's walled off again there's no real way to tell but I suspect Poast has been more active than Gab for the entire existence of Poast.

@Dubbub @p @SilverDeth @Caudill I've got a couple with 5-600. the most ever I think was a post by josh moon on here with 1.1k, we'd never seen it before so we werent sure if it was going to say like 1100 or shorten it, my two pinned have way more than 50 if you go to my profile

@snowcat @Dubbub @SilverDeth @p @Caudill yeah not sure what's going on there boss. I can see varying amounts on other instances. but not the full amount we see here. dead accounts probably account for 50% of those

@snowcat @Dubbub @SilverDeth @p @Caudill @graf DRC regularly prunes activities to make room for 313's 300MB porn gifs, so any old content including likes gets gone.

@Dubbub @Caudill @SilverDeth @graf You know I can just type `psql` and then edit a number, right? It's a number. It's a column in the database. You can make anything say anything.

@graf @Dubbub @SilverDeth @Caudill The guy's a gablin and he missed the whole thing about Gab cookin' the books and he hasn't read the thread and he has no idea who either of us is and he definitely doesn't know who was on here actually watching the goddamn reqs hit their servers when Gab federated.fse--subversive_neonazis_and_communists.jpggold.pnggtfo.pnghigh_iq.pngkc-rFa093Mu3kA.pngmake_fediverse_great_again.pngwhole_mentality.png

@graf @Dubbub @SilverDeth @Caudill If Gab no longer federates, then that doesn't apply. They can write anything anywhere.

Back in the day, my gab account with no followers would sometimes get dozens of likes on random stuff. I think there was some sort of admin-sanctioned likebot operating.
