      What's the function of "liking" in twitter discourse? Is it for arguments you agree with? For appreciating people for interacting with you? For acknowledging a high quality contribution, irrespective of whether you agree with the point? To show moral support for tribe members?

      Function is whatever people want it to be. I use it as special bookmarks. Friend uses it as a "Seen" button. (Which is great for recurrent engagement.) Others use it as endorsement.

      But this is precisely why I want to clarify it. It's like we are all saying the same word to each other but in each of our minds it means a different thing.

      So it's just like every other word.

      Something that feels different between words and the like button: words are shared between people in different contexts so that a group can quickly converge on a shared meaning for the word. The like button doesn't have enough context for such convergence to occur.

      I had some insight. It's ok for the like button, to be ambiguous between different people. The problem is that there's no effective way for people in a twitter tribe to signal that "like button means this in our tribe", besides my crude method of explicitly asking everybody.

      In the end the pinch emoji which was going to be about mocking small pp ends up being something something neo-nazi and OK hand means this and clown means that... I should stop commenting. I shouldn't wander into a political discussion to say "politics is dum and ur dum".

      I think innocuous symbols acquiring taboo meanings is really interesting.

      I don't. Once I figured out keeping up with it had a cost it immediately became too high. The sustainable strat seems to be "purple prose". It puts you in people's ingroup or fargroup (@eigenrobot), but not outgroup. People attack enemies, but not aliens and incomprehensibles.

      What is purple prose? Does it just mean to write in a way that confuses or obsfucates except to those in the ingroup?

      (I see what rezza's getting at but I believe purple prose usually refers to overwrought writing (??))
