Boost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon whether or not it becomes more popular than the birdsite.

@JesseSkinner @Bdellar Actually, no

I am planning on sticking around (and will be deleting my birdsite account very soon)

But saying ‘boost if you X’ just feels like a holdover of birdsite-like behaviour, and an attempt to ‘go viral’ for the sake of it

(I have to admit that I boosted at first before realising I was being sucked into old patterns of behaviour. I don’t want to do that any more)

@transponderings @JesseSkinner @Bdellar not convinced birdsite was the origin of/gets to own this behaviour, it used to be found in fax machines often enough!
@leon
Also chain letters were an early form of it.
