This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

      Hm, either i'm missing something obvious or taking it too literally. So far i can't seem to find a cheap way to get a total amount of likes an account received.

      Not an account, a single tweet. It’s the number shown on the tweet 🙄

      You’re the only person in the multiverse confused about this 😆 Step 1: tweet something like “I’m doing a thread about X, 1 tweet per like”. This is the root tweet. You track likes on ONLY this tweet not the whole evolving thread or your account. As likes come in, you tweet more

      Doubling back, i was thinking of a whole thread as a "one opinion", instead of each tweet in a thread being considered an opinion.

      Some people are doing it that way, which I guess is fine for very tangled topics, others are doing the true 100 discrete opinions style

      The more i think it, the more uncomfortable i am with this topic. Most of what i can say would be hearsay, romanization and opinions of the side of BESM vs ESEVM conflict my former professors happened to be on. I'll either be speaking out of my backpipe or quoting a history book.

          Hm. Then again, comfort wasn't really the point of the exercise...

          I've been trying to suggest prompts at the edge between comfort zone and discomfort zone.
