Yeah, but he's got a botnet of residential ips that he didn't pay for.
You're sharing the IP! That will severely harm the credibility of the poster for popular system at scale

You don't need to own them. You just need to rent the rights to send a spam message on a particular service using a proxy.
If you're sharing the IP that harms the credibility in the first place for an established system.
I think it would do the opposite. The regular user posts 5 times per day, but the spammer has bought access to 65536 IP addresses and posts once from each, boosting his posts 5x. And the town in South America with one CGNAT IP address to go around gets censored.
The 65K IP addresses cost 1.638M dollars, thats alot more than they would spend doing the exact same thing today.
The idea is to accept bad actors but make it more expensive and also you can directly identify cliques by IP ect.

Doesn't this just incentivize posting a bunch of comments from your residential proxy IP addresses to launder them? This smells like a poor strategy that's likely to lead to more spam than not. Also, everyone has to start somewhere so your legit IP addresses are also going to seem spammy at first.
I think residential proxy IP's still have the same associated cost, and arent those often for bundled traffic?
I'm not much of a blackhat so excuse my lack of knowledge on tricks of the trade

With nginx and 256 core Epycs, most single servers can easily do 200k requests per sec. Very few companies have more needs
When people talk about a single server they're not talking about one hunk of metal, they're talking about 1 server process.
This article describes the 10k client connection problem, you should be handling 256K clients :)

I watched the Google interview with Ilya yesterday and this came up. There's a large disconnect between the evals and the real-world performance, and he admitted that the evals are targeted.
There was a storm of hype the last couple weeks for Gemini 3 and everyone, correctly, rolled their eyes. Investors are demanding a return and it's not happening. They're just going to have to face reality at some point.
did you forget up is down and down is up?
Hi all — I help manage somosazucar.org, one of the local volunteer groups of Sugar Labs, the nonprofit behind the open-source Sugar Learning Platform originally developed for the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project.
SomosAzúcar has supported open education and children’s digital literacy initiatives across Latin America since 2009.
The domain expired on 2025-10-06, but due to a Postfix configuration issue on sugarlabs.org, GoDaddy’s renewal notices never reached us.
By the time we discovered the problem — about 35 days after expiration — GoDaddy informed us that the domain was already being prepared for auction, and that the only way to recover it would be to bid for it like any other buyer.
It feels wrong that a long-standing nonprofit project could lose its .org domain over a technical mail glitch.
Has anyone here faced something similar with GoDaddy or other registrars?
Is there any way to appeal to PIR (.org registry) or GoDaddy executive support to restore the domain before it’s auctioned?
Any advice or contacts would be deeply appreciated — this domain represents more than 15 years of open education work.
First off you should get a better, less douchy domain provider than GoDaddy. I like namecheap.
You're better off just dumping them and changing domains don't put up with this kind of BS.
You could try suing them but they'd probably roll you

I dont think youd get less rich-people-friendly decisions from ccongress. It may well be the opposite. Certainly it removes some of the separation of powers.
No but i think you get more accountability and visibility. Right now we could never do this but in a functioning democracy I think it would be prudent.
In civil law when there is no clear precedent congress gets involved preventing the kind of critisisms we get in our legal system of activist judges ect.
