Motion: Replace “go viral” with “go mycelial”

@futurebird I'm not sure this meme is all it's hyphaed up to be

(second, and third, and fourth)

@adriano
Stop trying to spore cheap points with bad puns this is serious.

@futurebird I think it is not so much a replacement as a different term

A post that goes viral flares up into a huge spike of attention but just as quickly dies down again

A post that goes mycelial keeps getting smaller spikes of attention over time as one person with a relatively isolated but well-connected network who hadn't seen it before discovers and shares it

@futurebird

The barely visible threads that link us all together.

(Not Facebook, et al!)

@futurebird "Stop trying to make "fetch" happen, Gretchen !"

@LetoOfTheDesert

Listen, I put my foot down about “toot” and “go fungal” eh no thank you— this has mystery “go mycelial” has class. Make way or get subsumed.

@EricLawton @castanea_jo

Strands of a mycelial network may become isolated. They will not die, they will continue to spread: a separate network.

Provided they do not diverge too much from their host, should they reconnect again, the information carried along the mycelial threads will still be interpreted by the wider network. Momentous decisions, such as the start of production of fruiting bodies, will be made based on the totality of chemical information.

@futurebird @EricLawton @castanea_jo what is it called? the method of signaling by diffusing molecules in a suspension liquid and detect the density
