   @BowsacNoodle That number seems low. That's once ever three seconds, assuming it's only used once per post. Per the first search result, according to a blog post that cites but doesn't link to some research by Internet Live Stats and the GDelt Project, the average number of messages posted to Twitter is about 9,600 per second. (Not reliable figures, but good enough for the back of the envelope; figures from 2013 had about 5,800 per second, so it seems close enough.) This would mean that "faggot" only appears in about one per 29,000 posts.
   
   (Based on my experience with fedi and basically every public area of the internet, it's probably about two dozen guys that just post it continuously.)
   
   Twitter's, what, 70% English-language posts? 50%? If we say 50%, we're still at only about one per 15k posts. Are they counting variants? Either way, like...2.6 million per 75 billion isn't that impressive.
