Summary

Linear issue: https://linear.app/comm/issue/ENG-2075/reproduce-socket-crash-loop-in-production-with-artificial-test-data
Calling this script in keyserver/ causes 1000 threads to be created under GENESIS with ashoat user and user whos id is specified as spammedUserID.
Having my physical iOS device use 3G this caused a socket crash loop.
Mind that creating 1000 threads takes about 15min.

Test Plan

Set iOS physical device network profile to 3G and run the script in keyserver/
This was tested on 22ac9645d0eb5f83a23a8c1daae0d31ebed5a4a1 D5513

This is a little risky to name this script triggerSocketCrashLoop - the name should indicate that we're going to create a lot of new threads. So maybe rename this script and add a comment explaining its purpose.

It might be safer to set this to a string that can't be a valid id

Just a nit, really unimportant for a script, but we should prefer returning read only arrays. I we have to use mutable arrays, we can use a shorthand string[].

Can we modify this function to accept also ids of both users?

Is this alias really needed?

11 ↗(On Diff #18053)

I actually think it's fine to return writeable arrays in cases like this, where the callee is creating the array for the caller. But it doesn't really matter
