#feditip for newbies, especially the ones who post a lot of politics stuff: use the CW or "Content Warning" feature if you want people to boost your posts.
For example, if you're posting about American politics, you might CW with the subject line "American politics" or "USPol" for short.
Using CWs has been part of the established culture here for years, and people generally don't boost unCW'd politics posts. If you think something's important and want to give it visibility, use a CW.

I know there is no quote-boost, but is there a way to add a CW to content we’d like to boost? I feel like that would help a lot with the new influx of toots created by people not used to using CWs so liberally
I also wish there was a way to add a layer of description upon sharing media that came with no alt-text
I’m sure it’s been brought up before, and there’s probably good reasons for it not being possible 🙂
@detroitfrog which is to add a CW in a reply and then boost this toot.
It's clunky sure, but you only have to do it for a few days per Twitter Heckup until folk either get with the program or drift back to twitter.
Dan moved, see pinned toot
