Submit posts (from anywhere) where people unknowingly describe themselves.

Specifically, someone who, when attempting to mock or denigrate their political opposition, accidentally describes themselves. They aren't self aware enough to notice. Or, alternatively, someone who accurately describes the world while trying to parody it.

The engagement declining over time is satisfying to see

Unfortunately could just be a product of the fact that the older ones are older.

Idk about twitter but socials engagement is usually heavily frontloaded and exponentially decays after it gets posted or goes viral.

I'd imagine this is even more true with twitter, since I doubt people are seeking out, like, 6mo tweets to peruse.

Maybe, but the drop mostly seems to happen in the 6 months from the Jan 2023 post to the Jul 2023 post, and we know this is from at least Dec 2025 based on the top most instance, so in all it really isn't a big time difference for such a sharp decline
