Saying not to bother with the favourite button on mastodon because it doesn't affect any algorithm is like saying not to say thank you to someone because no one else will hear.

Stop thinking in those old social media ways of engagement and visibility and algorithms and reach and audience and start thinking about being social.

And BOOST! It's how you saw this, probably!

A favourite is a nice thanks, a boost lets everyone else discover the great thing you discovered too!

@nikki This is important to me too. Like @bart suggests, it's nice to know things I ⭐ are not going to pollute someone else's timeline. I feel so much more in control of curating my own content whilst engaging with others and not having it curated for me by algorithms. And, as a result, you get a more positive, nicer and friendlier experience.
