gettr.com followers

gettr.com is Jason Miller’s new slop bucket. If members have linked twitter accounts, the number of followers displayed is the number of gettr followers + the number of twitter followers. For example, Matt Gaetz has about 280k (I found 279494) gettr followers and about 1.3M twitter followers and gettr shows 1.6M–almost 5x the reality. This is an interesting take on reality.

To inspect this you can browse a dump of all Gaetz’s followers1:

Even better is this guy who shows 70.1K followers:

mcgreggorholm

but actually has 1:

mcgreggorholm-followers

The code that does this is here – the m is the gettr followers and g is the twitter followers:
