This is a prolific poster! Showing posts since March 4, 2025.
for the newcomers, i’ve been doing this art project for over a year now… it’s called “Ratioed” and now has 11 pieces
1. i don’t use scripts or automations, i monitor and adjust everything manually
2. errant likes count as likes, even if immediately unliked… if i see it, it counts and closes things
at the time of this piece’s completion, these were its engagement metrics:
10 replies
5 reposts
it lasted approximately 5 minutes, the longest recorded piece so far was 30 minutes
i would like your help with an experimental social art project
this post is the project
the goal of this post is for it to receive ZERO likes, and only receive *replies* or *reposts*
if it receives any likes, i will immediately turn off replies, thereby sealing and finishing it
this is take #10
a year ago when i started this project i probably had 3,000 followers instead of 5,000+, so with time it’s becoming increasingly hard to achieve longer durations without receiving likes
the project is meant to explore using social media posts as a medium for art itself (rather than for sharing art)
thank you for your participation, this piece has now concluded, @darz.bsky.social was to blame for liking the post
at the time of this piece’s completion, these were its engagement metrics:
1 replies
4 reposts
it lasted approximately 2 minutes, the longest recorded piece so far was 30 minutes
the longest duration piece so far was over a year ago, take #4, 30 minutes
oops my thread didn’t thread properly, i messed up my own reference… continued below:
a few other notes about “Ratioed”
1. everyone who engages is a participant in the art! it’s collaborative
2. there is no “objective” in the sense of maximizing engagement or duration… what happens, happens
3. no shame is meant by naming who liked the post first, it’s part of the performance
yeah most of the likes you see on the posts are actually likes made after the post was already closed, and a substantial number of the pieces were completed by accidental likes lol

the goal of this post is for it to receive ZERO likes… only replies, reposts, or quotes allowed
