If I like something enough to boost it, I’m giving it a ⭐️ also.
@fungible_thadius yeah my birdsite habits died off quickly. I find myself ⭐ things almost immediate on things I like. Sort of a 'read receipt' almost. Then if I think others would want to see it, I'll boost.
@mentallyalex
Yeah, I’ve been using it as a like/thanks/read.
@fungible_thadius @mentallyalex that's how the longtimers are using it.

@fungible_thadius same!

I didn't realize how much my brain was already holding back, unconsciously thinking "will this mess with what I'll be shown in the future?"

So freeing to not have to worry about algorithms misunderstanding me.
