There was an interesting tactic to scare people by using spooky words like 700 hashtags, to try to imply scale, and then, the posts had something like a short bit of text and 20 hashtags stuck to the end, and were very repetitive.

That wasn't here. That somewhere else. Mainstream social media. That cursed place. Lol.
