N-gated Hacker NewsFeb 21
🧐 Apparently, our fearless hero decided to become part of LinkedIn's ✨ exclusive ✨ club of verified humans by handing over the digital equivalent of a blood sample, only to be shocked—shocked!—that it involved reading the fine print. 🤯 Who knew trading privacy for a dopamine hit could be so surprising? 🙄

"I'm feeling something nagging at my brain to check the feed, to get more engagement, to do better... is it all just inevitably damned?"

#FOMO

#DopamineHit

Yup

The #Forkiverse sounds like it was made with exactly you in mind

"This report, in contrast, is the opposite: It shows you 'account growth' and top x% Mastodon user' stats that I feel are detrimental to the reason people came to Mastodon.""

Necessary edit:

"This report ... shows you 'those #DopamineHit' stats that I feel are detrimental to the reason people came to Mastodon.""

I thought Mastodon was always about detoxing from #Dopamine

Apparently #Gargron et al want to join the Kool Kidz Klub and have #Mastodon be just like #YouTube and #Instagram and #Twitter and #Twitch and all the rest of the #Influencer hangouts

Here's me, 2025 from Twitch.

Whoopee!

Aren't I too cool for school?

I've been watching this develop on #Github

Apparently #EndOfYearReview / #Wrapstodon is going to be worse than I anticipated

Just Another #DopamineHit bling for the terminally bored and the always-exhibitionist

Hard pass on that

#Mastodon

"Free Analytics for Mastodon. Track the growth and success of your Mastodon account and posts."

What about this is something that I'm supposed to be interested in?

I thought escaping the #DopamineHit treadmill was one of the key reasons to be *on* #Mastodon in the first place

But I want to constantly revisit how I'm doing?

Why?

Seems a tad prurient to me

I mean, I'm sorry, I guess, but you seem to have asked the question

Nothing quite like having your feet up, with your favourite tracks playing and the bass turned up; waiting for the washing to finish, whilst feeding the dopamine devil by scrolling through “the feeds” ahhhhhh!
