Wait, how's this different from having a script that posts 15000 new posts to create a notification bomb?
(Scenario after the most commonly suggested mitigation, "okay so notify people on edit": stalker/griefer can now trigger a 15,000 notification bomb by scripting edits to a post)

I have this joke about Heracles, but every time I try telling it, it grows two lines for every line I tell.
I have a joke about Odysseus but it takes a long time to pay off.
I have a joke about Achilles but it's got some weak spots.

And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains.

Interesting. So the theory is “I’m not dismissing it, I’m finding it never existed.”

Just sent out this piece. Over the last 30 years we have witnessed a repeat of one the great illusions of the pre-1914 world, that growing trade and interdependence makes war less likely, even "futile". It was a comforting fiction then and a very dangerous one now. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I’m down to <$100 in the bank and at best I won’t have any more “income” until the middle or end of next week. Likely job interview next week but nowhere to sleep.
So for once I’m actually open to mutual aid, contrary to my usual “it’s not urgent, help others first” stance

If you don't tell Russians their banks are about to fail, thet won't have those nasty bank runs that will bring down their already failing economy even faster.
So whatever you do, don't say, for example on Telegram, that Russia's banks are about to fail.
Or repost this post.

Meanwhile, Russia's Ministry of Internal affairs (i.e. police and FSB) wants to ban loans.
