- giraffe_lady 3y agoYou see how this isn't useful right? A signifier is only useful if the audience understands what it signifies.
- chatmasta 3y agoThe audience chooses by looking at which of the accounts they follow (and consider either in-group or out-group) have the blue or red badge.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoYes I understood your intent. So if I follow a mix of american leftists (blue) and european leftists (red) what color do you think I should pick? The audience is people seeing my check, not me picking it. They won't read it in a consistent way and so I can't send a meaningful intentional signal by making this choice.
