      I work in data. I have this handy dandy datasheet from a recent election. It has everyone on it. It would be trivial to scrape out the republican voters and submit 60 million names they weren’t looking for to the list, but it’s two elections old and I don’t like playing those games. Also, they’d probably see 60 million names submitted at once and think “fuck that trash all those” if they had a halfway decent data security dude there.

      So I guess I better get started on scrubbing the data.

        Honestly, this is pretty much what LLMs and user generators were built for. A couple of the shit post subs (anything with horny on main) already have tooling set up.

        For the crowd, the goal is to clog the system in a way that is really hard to filter. You want bad data and also lots of differing types of bad data. Spam shrek, bee movie transcripts, AI generated rants, report a guy called “Lehuge” 80 times with conflicting info, etc. You know the drill.
