I've always known that many of the first million accounts were stincy sockpuppets, thanks for shedding light on this.
Less than 20 people got this going, and sockpuppets was one of their tactics.
It appears those days are gone, finally.
As far as things go, this is as good has hive has looked since I got here in aug '16.
The inflation has run off the greediest, and the crab bucket should soon do in the rest.
Then 'we' can go about building a real community here, rather than be forced to exist as outsiders because we don't engage in the corporate speak.

Not all bad, but very old skool.
I've got you on the autovoter, I shouldn't miss many posts.

One of the core stinc coders let the cat out of the bag when he said, 'I don't care about the first million accounts.'

More sunlight, happier hive, iyam.

Lol, classic.
I always wondered how many regular usernames are taken up by creating 1m sockpuppets.
Seems like a lot of the popular ones would be gone.
