@inthedeltawaves and you’re right that it is often just creepy voyuerism and creepy exhibitionism. It is often alarming to see how technology expands and accelerates group dynamics.


@inthedeltawaves sure. but that “could” for one group of users creates a lot of “musts” for development. And financials are not going to miss a chance to leverage development, because it is expensive. And then the incentives are upside down.

And honestly I’m not even sure if the gesture is actual a social one when reduced, as it is, to a single click in a maelstrom of clicks. People take effort.

And just as honestly (always suspicious when then say ‘honestly’) if my comments are missing the point srry. Maybe look at some recent posts for context. It’s not unlikely that I’m way off in tangent land…. ❤︎😃🙃😶‍🌫️



@inthedeltawaves I put my focus on how to improve the system for everyone and not so much on how my genius is ignored or how sometimes, I’m uncomfortable.


@inthedeltawaves not at all.

People can provide what ever verbs they want and attach whatever labels to the buttons which effect those verbs that they wish. It doesn’t bother me. It tells me something about them. And then I can chose what to do next.

Treating people like hamsters at the treat buzzer eventually gets you hamsters at the treat buzzer. And then people giving away awards for Best Hamster of the year. And then people thinking, damn if only I had been a hamster, and so on…
