Heidi Li FeldmanI see folks saying that they hope to engage more here than they did on the bird site and not “just boost and favorite.” Remember, boosting here IS engaging. There is no algorithm pushing content into people’s timelines. Instead, we together are creating the flow of posts across and around instances.
theredelm@heidilifeldman Thank you for this! I worry about boosting too much but also really want some of the folks I boost to get visibility,
zeruch@heidilifeldman it is in itself incredibly telling in terms of perception of online life, that everyone defaults to seeing what's the best way to leverage "The algorithm" instead of just thinking how do I want to exist in this kind of space.
Buy nothing new@heidilifeldman So far here I miss ongoing threads to engage with. Remain committed tho
@princelysum I follow Mastodon etiquette when I thread, with only the first in a thread on a public timeline and then the rest to my followers only (anybody who sees the first post in the thread can click on it and expand to see the others. May make it harder for people to find threads.
@heidilifeldman I don't fully understand what you've said but I think it explains why I can't get into convos here
