I thought about building a bot to scrape every TD commenter username, and PM'ing then to come over.

that would be VERY valuable. You could argue that TD was enough to swing voters in very important states

The problem is alerting shills with the PMs and getting it shutdown. Any way around that? Go back to older posts, maybe 2016/2017 threads?

good point - im not sure there is a way around that unless the bot can avoid usernames that have been downvoted plenty

That wouldnt be too hard. Just skip comments below 10 upvotes, maybe. Capture all usernames with 10+ upvotes in 2016/2017. Hmmm

i feel like Reddit may block that. besides i think most active users are in the know and will come here anyway.

I feel like they will too. But Ill be running some tests to find out their parameters.

Post links leading here in reddit comments. That’s how the digg exodus happened, people posted links that led to reddit.
