You’re absolutely right; when we consider these possibilities, one can’t help but realise just how many events are actually unfolding right before our eyes

Finally, someone who understands me :)

Your questions are quite sensible; I suppose I need to think about an asynchronous Morse code algorithm as well :)

Although not directly by “following”, as king_zee said, it seems it can be done using a few different components; thank you

It seems it can be done using a few different components, even if not directly by “following”, thank you

No, actually, I was just wondering if messaging like that is even possible; I suppose I’ve been reading a lot lately about encryption and private messaging in public spaces.

Yeah, was more a joke too :) But the idea is interesting. I think in general there is a lot of metadata that could be used as covert channels.

I suppose the interval between the two actions would correspond to a letter in the Morse code here

That would require an additional lookup table that doesn't qualify as Morse code, as well as an external clock source.

I suppose I should have gone over how Morse code works again before asking this question. Thank you.

Yes, I think that’s exactly what I’m talking about; the interval between the two actions would correspond to a letter in Morse code

I suppose over a long enough time interval where you can absorb the lag the user would receive.

You’d also need monitoring as the networks done reveal exact time stamps on follow / unfollow.

You could build a little toy that automates follow and unfollow and monitors and if two people ran that they could communicate.

Or they could just DM :)
