Our miserly reluctance to retweet has always been a great example of how we capitulate to economies of artificial scarcity which reinforce the false logic of marginal economics.

There’s no need to economize! Smash that boost. Its stock is bottomless. And by doing so you are “federating” this system, quite literally making us all more visible to one another across the arbitrary borders of instance-iation & the real restraints on servers.

@MattSeybold

Don't reboost just to reboost. Reboost if you genuinely believe that a post will be of value to the people who follow you. Otherwise, spare them from boosting what will essentially be spam to them.

@MattSeybold I got “boost boost boost” I’m my head to keep the spirit up. Especially seeing great intros that I love to share. They’re so wholesome
@MattSeybold there are people who were reluctant to retweet? wut?
@MattSeybold "Miserly" or perhaps conditioned by bird-place algorithms?
