Imagine a team of spec ops could only communicate via Twitter. I dunno why, apocalypse; their servers were in Antarctica.

Anyway, they’d have to reinvent language to blend in. I’d choose memes. Drop crumbs = codex. Set variables for codex comparisons.
How would I determine which variable we were all using? Variables denote message type, destination?
What if each team gets their own decode method?

IE. Team A uses tweet/RT timestamp, compared to post number. Responds with certain type of meme and a reference to phrase in post.
Team B uses video/gif duration as comparator. Responds with Bible verse, which references the duration of reply-video/gif.

Should I go on?
You could even train people to look for certain patterns. The patterns that a specific individual recognizes the most are slowly fed into a precision-enhancement formula. Eventually you can figure out to nearly the second, when the individual would reply and with what.
You could use their own very habitual pattern recognition. Then you could schedule a response post for a preset time to make it look like not only are you in (close) contact with someone, but possibly who they are.

Or... you could convince another person in the loop...
...to post at a certain time/subject.

Basically, a person could be working for someone without even knowing. If they have your reaction profile, you work for them. Dig into TikTok. Freaking mind control.
