Wish they were on here so we could give them hell, but makes sense they'd only be on the Nazi's platform.
The attached pic happened to an acquaintance of mine:
store refused; spent a week emailing them till they yielded.

...having his parade during Pride Month.

Anyway, I'm sure devout MAGA will be watching the first American pope's address instead of their false idol.

Have a look at the transparency.org Corruption Perception Index of 2024, where low is bad...
...Just look at that last rate of decline -- off the fucking cliff

I'm gonna call it again -- this would be too predictable to be a drama, though poetic justice

In summary of the over 4 million data points I pulled from (at the time) all of AOC posts, just some of what I found what may indicate:
The best time to post,
How to best support a user,
How to, relatively, get a user's attention,
And her biggest fans!
Details in my previous posts.

How can you best support a user?
I'm sure you can guess the result, but the key feature in predicting likes is reposts!

Forgot the background defaults to black -- lost the flag pole!

For all the protesters this President's Day

Everyone likes pie!
Seems one could get more attention via replies than likes or reposts

"Biggest" meaning having the most followers themselves

Why make an AOC dataset?
It tells a story:
Strong initial growth, tapering to inactivity, near vertical resurgence, and returning to a norm.
That resurgence rate should be very tempting to power users on that other site.
More to come!

So what do 3.2 million AOC likes look like?
On the left, each dot is a like.
On the right, likes are summed by hour -- useful!

Good job!

Thank you for the data!

Yup

To clarify:
This is not just data you can find on a search engine.
It's from a software script I recently wrote -- and just scratching the surface

A hint of what I'm up to:
Before, I posted my likes per follower ratio -- but what is that relative to?
For one: @aoc.bsky.social has (excluding reposts) 3,207,406 total likes and 1,761,862 followers for an amazing 1.82 likes per user!
What does that mean? More to come!

So I made a thing and, excluding reposts, I have 1605 total likes over 175 posts with 7.3k followers -- so like .2 likes per follower!

Gonna take a break from politics and do some data science for a bit -- 1AM here after all that rusty debugging!

True -- and a lot of the assumed interactions may just be with bots

"But still they had trouble with their most persistent enemy: the truth.... So they burned books 20 million of them... education was discouraged..."

Sound familiar?

YouTube video by US National Archives Don't Be a Sucker

In 1947 the USACS published "Don't be a Sucker" in response to rising fascism.
You can hear similarities to the MAGA party line: calling foreigners and minorities the enemy.

"Somebody is going to get something out of it, and it isn't going to be you."

Suckers all

Yes, I agree and can attest to such great follower growth.
But I have a feeling I'm getting less than 15x the interaction from said followers -- every bit still appreciated of course

Nice!
I'm thinking of digging into the API and writing a script to track/parse that data -- not so much of reposts, but on new content

Thank you!

To be non-political for once, I'd like to get some data:
What's your median likes per follower ratio? Less than Twitter?
