@MxAlba are engagement baits cringe? boost this post for 'of course'
@[email protected] You do realise that there are no algorithms here in the #Fediverse so "engagement bait" isn't a thing here?
@MxAlba and yet people post stuff like *boost if you're not a terrible human being*
@[email protected] So? Harmless fun. Like chain snailmail of old.

@MxAlba

"harmless fun!!"

"just asking questions!!"

A clickbait troll is a clickbait troll no matter the label they try to hide behind

You're making a huge issue out of something completely harmless. I haven't seen any clickbait trolls in the Fediverse. And if there are any - just fediblock them, problem solved!

@MxAlba

"just fediblock them, problem solved!"

You got it

Bye...

@MxAlba "the algorithm" that determines how posts appear on fedi is "what people you follow boost/post, ordered by time"

There being an algorithm doesn't determine if something is engagement baiting, the engagement baiting determines if it's engagement baiting.

So here's some engagement, I was just going to spend it on drugs and booze anyway. /lh

Hmmm Okay so maybe it
is engagement baiting... But with none of the adverse consequences that engagement baiting has on commercial platforms, so still no harm done.

Enjoy your drugs and booze!
@MxAlba insert a cactus in your throat for "absolutely not"
@MxAlba As a friend on mine on here said, "Trans rights or I will set you on fucking fire."
@MxAlba @phlash thanks for the thoughts.
The thing is, youโ€™re saying this to people who already know. What Iโ€™d *really* love is to say the same thing to those who are maybe less receptive.
Can you take ten minutes to write the same to your MP?
Itโ€™s surprisingly easy: https://www.writetothem.com/
WriteToThem

WriteToThem is a website which provides an easy way to contact MPs, councillors and other elected representatives.

@rachel @phlash
I don't have an MP because I don't live in the UK.

@rachel @phlash @MxAlba
Sadly these things are worth the effort because so-called neurotypicals are optimised for efficiency and do a significant amount of decision making based on consensus, not evidence.
Expressing a position publicly contributes to the perception of consensus โ€” and if we donโ€™t do it, conservatives will.

Are there that many NTs lurking about the Fediverse?
Doubtful; but itโ€™s a small gesture and better safe than sorry.

@MxAlba how to hell yea! ?
