Yup. It's a temporary thing, now all the scammers will just jump to vpn.

Or botnets to get residential IPs



So, do nothing eh? Places like somethingawful demonstrated that even a token fee toll to trolls was enough.

Forcing these orgs to pay foe their propaganda is significant.

And once theyre in vpns, those are fewer IPs to ban.


No I think we need to do more, not nothing. This was an interesting step to highlight the problem.

I think Twitter is beyond help though. It's just another gab now. But it would be interesting for other socials.


Well, itsnot isolated to twitler. Whoever there thought this was going to add value to the product is either delusional or knew exactly how bad it is.

Go to reddit and sort by top/hourly and youll find plenty.
