If you were to gamify Mastodon, how would you do it?
It seems like frequent, vapid posts would be pretty effective given the timeline isn't an algorithmic feed, but what kind of stuff should be posted?
@amerika ah, I think we are thinking of gamifying different variables. You are trying to manipulate the common narrative, where I was just thinking of maximizing follower count. Yours makes perfect sense now!
@amerika I meant more the game theory perspective where you manipulate input variables to get the desired outcome in a fuzzy function. The metric measured could be all sorts of things.
I read "gamify" as "manipulate."
The notion is that you want the same message from different points to fake consensus.
Sort of like MSM, hipsters, etc. do.
