I keep seeing lots of long-time #fediverse users saying 'don't favourite posts it does nothing' but actually when you favourite my posts it makes me smile and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

@djdellamorte I'm mystified by this one.

* I can see when folks have favourited my toot
* I can see how many people have favourited someone else's toot
* I can see the list of people that favourited a toot

What are people expecting it to do?

@fishidwardrobe @djdellamorte They are referring to favorites not affecting an algorithm that prioritizes showing popular posts to others feeds. And some apps for mastodon don’t show favorite counts.

@DrAnneCarpenter @djdellamorte Well, that's nothing to do with favourites; we don't *have* an algorithm. "The problem with this bicycle is it doesn't have a button to drop green shells"
