hi wonderful people

i know a lot of folks are detoxifying and the birdsite incentives sometimes made it seem like only posting your own stuff was wise. Maybe never boosting others over there made sense.

It's different here. Here, #PeopleAreTheAlgorithm

Which means, if you interact with me, and I look at your profile and it's full of yourself. Well...kinda speaks for itself.

Boosting others here helps re-knitting lost and creating new networks of care. Be generous and share your discoveries.

Hi.

One's profile is to introduce oneself to other people so, that's not the place to expect people to draw attention to things not about themselves.

Now, in their stream, they should definitely be reposting other people's posts (I deeply dislike the term "boost."). In that way they can promote other people.

Same with hashtags, they can promote subjects and people via hashtags.

@beccanalia
oh, right. I guess I should have said stream?

Hashtags are great. I learned that #Defaidodon exists and it shows you many welsh sheep! 🐑
