  • ioannes said “This is poorly specified. How many is “as many as possible”? If he goes to twitter-war against an environmentalist & the environmentalist then stops tweeting, would that qualify? Or would he have to use a technical mechanism to qualify?on 2017-02-05
  • themusicgod1 said “Yeah I’d say that would qualify. If twitter still works for most ppl but no one’s talking about topic X…that would mean something serious happened worth consideringon 2017-02-07

  • themusicgod1 said “@KnaveOfAllTrades That depends if discussion on climate change more or less stops after said environmentalist goes quiet, and if the next few people who try are quickly also silenced. I don’t think it’s gonna happen this way though now, yet anywayon 2017-10-28
