Let's not congratulate too early. It's better to get a few more thousand signatures. Some signatures are sure to be invalidated for whatever reason.

We know for a fact some 4channers have added bogus signatures, so a few thousand may not be enough. Keep asking real people to sign.

Good job everyone! And to remember that 3 weeks ago we weren't even halfway...

We still want to call for more to buffer against unverifiable signatures, but even the fact we made it to 1M is a noteworthy achievement.

Great news. Now to hit 2 million.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago

Hell yeah. Now that the DDOS of everyone watching the number hit a million is subsiding, the rate of signatures is increasing again.
