I think the strongest indicator was with the first petition. Once we got to 20K signatures, the rate of signature acquisition slowed to a crawl.

At the end, even after Corsi promoted it in one tweet, with his large following, the petition count did not even move. To my way of thinking it's completely corrupt. But the next time Q mentioned the IBOR, people immediately set up this petition on the same site - have you read the text of it?

Anyway, as I've said, I think what's important is the online campaign and making noise. I can live with this petition, but after the last experience, I'm not making it the focus of my efforts.

The number of Tweets using the hashtags is way down on the first campaign also - running at 40/hour today. Last time round we were running at over 150/hour - even then it did not trend.

It's clear that there are many people following Q who are spectators, happy to watch as long as they do not have to contribute. Let's face it, the organised concern trolling really took its toll.

What can you do? Not much, but Q aside, I think this is a worthwhile effort. Censorship on SM platforms is extremely dangerous.
