@feditips something I don’t understand yet is why the favorite button is not used nearly as much as the reblog button on most posts

@leastsurveilled @feditips As far as I can tell, the favorite button doesn’t do anything at all here. I mean, ok, it puts your stamp on the post that you liked it, but with no algorithm pushing the most-liked posts, there really isn’t any motivation to like stuff. It ends up being much more effective to either interact or boost instead.

@dcsohl @feditips It's definitely a paradigm shift, maximizing interaction instead of signalling what you like seems pretty neat though. It forces you to think about what you want others to see.
