    In the forty-eight days this account has been active, it has made three thousand six hundred and ninety-eight submissions to Lemmy, which is one on average every eighteen minutes and forty-two seconds.

    You’re slowing down a bit buddy!

      I’d love to see this person maintain this energy after the election. I seriously doubt it.

        Yeah I have a feeling that they are going to disappear after November 5th.

          Not to worry. They’ll reappear a few months before the next election cycle.

            Sorry, friend, I’m here for the long haul. Also, what the poster who posts my stats ever day ALWAYS neglects to say, is that the vast majority of my posts are for Socialist causes. Feel free to look at the communities where I post the most. Which are going to be here way beyond the election. :)

            What makes you think I would only post before an election? Weird thing to say.

          No you don’t. You are just trying to mock and sow doubt. But you of all people, know that I’m not going away. Your mocking, you posting stats of me daily, etc, none of it has changed my mind on anything at all. I laugh everytime you post. So please don’t stop! :)

        In fairness, there won’t be much to post on in this area of topics once the next President-elect becomes the next sitting President.

        What I’ll be keeping an eye on is if this person posts after the election but before the inauguration, say regarding the news on recount events and such. Remember how long Stein stayed in the news back in 2016 because of the recounts?

        But why do you think I would suddenly lose energy after an election?

          Was I talking to YOU? Please Re-read my very first reply to you and maybe that will jog your memory, HINT…your first day on here.

          See you in 2025 Homie!

          I was thinking about these numbers actually.

          3698 posts in 48 days comes to roughly 77.04 posts per day.

          However, I can’t remember where I read this, but apparently there are 24 communities/magazines being managed or at least posted to.

          It makes sense that the same link would get posted to all 24, and user scripts already exist for lemmy ( https://lemmy.world/post/2638670 ) and kbin ( https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/by-site/kbin.social ) so it’s not hard to imagine a “reposting” user script for lemmy. Would be fairly easy for someone slightly technical to come up with.

          Assuming every original post follows with the userscript assisted simultaneous reposting, with the net result of the same post in 24 magazines at once, we should adjust the math as follows:

          77.04/24 is approximately 3.21 posts per day.

          Of course, this isn’t completely accurate. First it’s an average, so some days may have double the posts (say 6 per day) while a day or two might even be skipped altogether.

          More importantly, it probably doesn’t make sense to post every single link into every single magazine every single time, so there’s probably a fast & quick config option to adjust the number (i.e. maybe a source isn’t considered high enough quality and is left off of /m/politics ). So the true number of posting is likely a bit higher, but even if half are dropped off every time, we’re still only up to 7 posts a day (and that’s rounding up).

          While averaging 7 posts a day can be quite a bit by some measures, it’s certainly within the reach of a single, enthusiastic individual.

          For every post on the fediverse, one needs to use critical thinking. But also remember the phrase about lies, damn lies, and statistics…

          So valid counterpoints to the above would include showing that reposts or duplicate posts in different communities are rare and that almost every post is actually unique, showing that we’re not seeing 12 or 24 simultaneous posts but that each post is trickling in roughly every 20 minutes at every hour of a full 24 hour period (i.e. the person never sleeps for weeks on end), and so on.

          I haven’t dug that deeply into it, but right now I have yet to see enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis (of a single enthusiastic individual with something like userscript assisted reposting).

      And best of all, almost all of them (the posts) are on communities that they made themselves.

        Which have nothing to do with Jill Stein. The most posts I make are to my Socialist communities.

        And since you seem to disregard the communities I made myself, then you don’t have to worry about anything I have to say. So see how that works? :)

            But wait, you thought I’m gonna vote for Jill Stein. Why would I delete that community if I were gonna vote for her?

    Clinton’s mistake was campaigning in Texas instead of Michigan, not ‘not punching left enough’.

    If you want to win over green voters, maybe run on some of the popular things that the greens are running on instead of guilt tripping.

      If you want a third party to not get hate, maybe don’t vote for them and ask them not to be so horrible.

    University of Wisconsin-Madison Elections Research Center Director Barry Burden …
    predicted Stein may not earn as many votes in 2024 as she did in 2016 when she “benefitted from progressives’s dissatisfaction with the political establishment,” particularly now that demographic appears “newly energized by the Harris campaign.”

    So the article points out both a hope for Harris supporters and also a valid counterargument to their strategy of trying to keep Stein off the ballot.

    “This election is different than 2016,” a longtime Michigan Democratic activist told the Washington Examiner. “Both Stein and West are threats to Harris in Michigan because they are appealing to Arab American voters upset over the Biden administration’s Middle East policy to vote for them rather than Harris.”

    “Studies of Stein voters show that many of them would have not voted or would have supported Trump had the Green Party candidate not been on the ballot,” Burden said. “Memories of 2016 also ignore that the Libertarian ticket drew even more votes than Stein and probably hurt Trump more than Stein hurt Clinton.”

    I.e. in other words, instead of trying to keep Stein off the ballot (and offending these folks into staying home and not voting) Dems would be better off actually trying to win these folks votes by engaging with them and trying to give them what they want.

    So again, hope for the Harris campaign, especially with the recent endorsement of Emgage Action, that these voters can still be won over at the last minute.
