The Raygun post escaped containment on Twitter. It's been a while since I had one go beyond CT. Observations:

Following is truly dead: close to 1m impressions converted to 6 new followers.

It went through four distinct phases:
1. Breakout: need 10+ likes in the first 5 minutes or it's dead.
2. My following, mostly Ethereum and Farcaster.
3. Poasters: bluesky bios, dirtbag ironists on left and right, tech and postrats. Don't think it was too politically coded so there was something for everyone. Everyone still in on the joke at this point.
4. Normies: journos, assistant professors, accounts that send GIF replies. This is when they started taking the "well, actually" bait.

Probably won't make it to the circle of "true normies" beyond that.

I had a tweet go viral back in 2021
