A few days ago I submitted what may have been the largest data breach in history. It got 1 upvote and vanished. I haven't even seen people MENTION the breach here.

I think one of the reasons is that it depends on the day and time you post things. I have seen submissions get nothing and the end of the day and have a better in the afternoon. And weekends seems like mornings are better.

What's the breach/link you tried to share?

You can click their profile and see it

I can't see anything?

responded above if you want to check out the link

In esseph's submissions, I see only one, from 2025. This does not match their "a few days ago". So, no, I can't click their profile and see it.

Could you provide a link to what you see?

It looks like somebody else posted it before it did, so when I added comments it added it to that one.

Which is fine, I don't care about that, but it's CRAZY it hasn't gotten more exposure/discussion!
