So, assuming that 1000 posts comes from less than 1000 people, and that other people post occasionally, let's guess that somewhere less than 1000 people do 90 % of the posting. That's not a high percentage of users.

That seems to be consistent with the Pareto principle though

I already filtered for non-unique posters, and 1 per minute would be 1440. I also have an extensive blocklist. So it could be in the range between 1000 and 2000.

Ah. That makes the odds better. Still, you have a very small portion of active users doing most of the posting.
