People were usually following me either because I canceled Dave Thoreau (fuck that guy) or because I canceled an emu with bird flu (fuck that emu tho) or because I got @gregdoucette.bsky.social to kiss an ox.

I will say that the lolsuits of November 2020 was when I first got truly aware of lawtwitter.

After that, getting to experience Threadnought was more or less inevitable.

I've been following since the Threadnought!

babsallday.bsky.social•8 days ago

i was swept up in the threadnought

fredfine.bsky.social•8 days ago

Brutality megathread brought me in. Sheee-it.

gregdoucette.bsky.social•8 days ago

There was a *lot* of other stuff mixed in – my client who wanted to become "Durham's weed man," my client who sold Xanax brownies and was mad court interfered with tennis, my client who was assaulted by police for livestreaming a traffic stop, kissing an ox, etc – but those are the main ones 😂

myriadphenomena.bsky.social•7 days ago

Surprised you didn't mention Fooler here

gregdoucette.bsky.social•8 days ago

Did not get many Twitter followers from that story, just a lot of attention 😄

I'm sure there were some, but not enough to be noticeable in the data

You were in my recommended a lot bc of threadnought but I legit started following bc of foodraiser. I wanted to contribute and I thought it was so impressive.

gregdoucette.bsky.social•7 days ago

With Friends Like These with @anamariecox.bsky.social 😄 Got quite a bump in followers from that

For me, it was the food drive for the schools. I think I stumbled across law Twitter right around that season. Just never left after that.

isaac32767.picknit.com•8 days ago

It was a very entertaining thread. "He had a *business* *plan*." I tried to find it, but twitter search is completely broken.

kimota1977.bsky.social•7 days ago

Oh I remember the Durham weed man!!

thatac.bsky.social•8 days ago

IIRC someone wanted to give you baked goods for assisting...

mightybattlecat.bsky.social•8 days ago

This is Weed Entrepreneur erasure.

bexone.bsky.social•7 days ago

I had seen you around on other things, but I definitely started following you from one of the foodraisers

grinchmcscrooge.bsky.social•7 days ago

I followed because of one of your posts (or maybe a post about you) on the old Fault Lines blog way back when. So not in the first wave, but way before the second.

kaldrenon.bsky.social•8 days ago

2019 was a rough year for me. The Threadnought was one of the things that kept me going. 😂

neuroticjay.bsky.social•8 days ago

I forgot how busy your latter-half-of-2019 really was.

neolithicsheep.bsky.social•7 days ago

Wait was Silent Sham all the way back in winter 2019?? Surely it was like. A year ago.

kaawababy.bsky.social•8 days ago

I heard you interviewed on Pod Save America in like…2015 or 2016-ish. I ditched those ridiculous podcast bros fairly soon after but stuck with you because you aren’t sexist or insane.

scribblegurl.bsky.social•7 days ago

🙋‍♀️ Threadnought

scribblegurl.bsky.social•7 days ago

I should add though, that where you sealed it was the brutality thread. BRAVO on that.

bemattice.bsky.social•7 days ago

Mega thread was beautiful

tombridge.com•8 days ago

I still miss the podcast <3

jamrock45.bsky.social•8 days ago

2020 Mega thread 🙋🏾‍♂️

kimberleelynn.bsky.social•7 days ago

I follow you because you're smart.

berfield.com•8 days ago

I tripped over you early on in the Threadnaught, as I recall. You and Akiva.

lindaz.bsky.social•7 days ago

Foodraiser. Espy shared that so I followed

rlorenz.bsky.social•8 days ago

Does the FoodRaiser factor in at all?

kevin.crime.group•7 days ago

Also Shotspotter.

devincow.bsky.social•7 days ago

The Threadnought was where I met you, and many others. I'll never how I got wrapped up in it but it's been a thrill and a pleasure!

kimota1977.bsky.social•7 days ago

The threadnought was the most epic Internet occurrence I’ve ever been involved in and while it was equal parts ridiculous and terrifying at times it was also the best fun to be had online.

kimota1977.bsky.social•7 days ago

Minus of course the death threats, but the threadnought made the abuse bearable as all the weirdos just threw themselves like weeb kamikaze’s at Greg.

soppy0.bsky.social•7 days ago

"Who is T. Greg Doucette and why is he making another bumptious thread?" *follows*
