@ZellaQuixote We downloaded the last ten days worth of tweets containing #QAnon, #WWG1WGA, or #FollowTheWhiteRabbit, yielding 458487 tweets from 75776 accounts. What's up with those big spikes in traffic every few days? #StateOfTheQnion 
@ZellaQuixote Answer: the spikes are swarms of replies containing "Q sent me" or #QSentMe to specific tweets. The tweets being targeted are those linked by whoever is currently posting as Q on 8chan/8kun, and the swarms generally consist of thousands of accounts.
