In pictures: The nationwide ‘No Kings’ protests

Well, I say it's not, so we can move along.
Only @Damocles knows for sure. Possibly the other mods. IDK what level of access Damo grants to his mods.

The reason I suspect it's human is not the words, but the pattern of responses. The who and when.

  1. It was getting dark, and we weren’t there yet.
  2. I was very proud of my nickname throughout high school but today- I couldn’t be any different to what my nickname was.
  3. The shark-infested South Pine channel was the only way in or out.
  4. I purchased a baby clown from the Russian terrorist black market.
  5. The team members were hard to tell apart since they all wore their hair in a ponytail.
 
In that photo, there are about 2000 to 3000 people, possibly less. For example, the I in "KING" is made up of about 50 that you can actually count. That would put the N at about 150 to 200, etc. There are 47 people holding up the flag. The width of the formation is about 500 feet. That took place at Ocean Beach San Francisco.

SFGate says "hundreds" took part.


Axios says the same thing.


I was unable to find what the organizers claim.
What are the organizers claiming?

Only the lower right picture is measurable. That's Liberty Plaza by the Georgia state capitol and measures about 300 x 200 feet. There are roughly 5000 to 7000 people present.

Checking that I found the organizers say the plaza's capacity is 5000 and it was reached (I see gaps in the crowd, but it is mostly full). Another 2 to 3 thousand were estimated outside of it. That makes my claim of 5 to 7,000 just about correct.

When rain drops fall and you feel low
Ah, do you ever think it's useless
Do you feel like letting go
Do you ever sit and do you wonder
Will the world ever change
And just how long will it take

To have it all rearranged

You're Into the Night's sock, aren't you? This level of denial and asserting bullshit I have only seen from that account.

I think that it may be an aggregate bot, that "reads" the site and uses the most used words to create an aggregate nonsense word salad. If I were to create one I would name it "Kamala", and have it "laugh" at the end of each post.

You openly admit you allow bots to disrupt the forum? Wow.

You are babbling nonsense. I said if I figure out for sure that it is a bot I will make it go away, from that you pretend you are incapable of understanding things and say this nonsense. I think each of you post nonsense, should I judge everyone that posts nonsense to be a "bot" and make them go away?

You're the one with access to IPs, not me.

You're the one claiming it's a bot, not a person. Personally, I think it's Legina for the aforementioned reasons.

How would the IP tell me it was a bot, genius? Explain it in detail. Nothing is too technical for me to be unable to understand.

Deductive reasoning. Does their IP remain the same or is it obvious they are using a VPN? Do any of the IPs repeat? Do any match other members?

That wouldn't tell me if it was a bot. I can, and do, use a VPN. Matching another member doesn't tell me if it is a bot either, more than one member has a secondary account. None of what you are saying here would tell me if it is a bot. Some members have a new IP every time they log in, some use the same one nearly all the time, neither of those would tell me it was a "bot".

Why bother T.A.?? You are dealing with a group of people that cannot even count to twenty if they take their shoes off.

As noted previously, I also note their pattern of posting, not just the nonsense they post.

Why would someone create an "aggregate bot". For what purpose? To attack your forum? To drive people away?

For fun. It doesn't post often enough to "drive people away" or to constitute and "attack" on the forum.
