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.

@christina do you have any thoughts or research to share on a suggested balanced approach? What ratio of original to boosted content should we consider aiming for?

@Samperd
Interesting question! IDK the ratio, but I think that right now there’s a phase shift in the metaverse.

Right now especially it’s important to help people find each other, not just ourselves.

In 6 months, as maybe the last of the late adopters are stumbling in, it’ll be less urgent. And I don’t count metrics, just surf serendipity.

But even on the birdsite, a stream full of only the one person was a real red flag for me.
