I've been creeping around looking at a lot of people's accounts (I'm doing a survey) Noticed that people with very few followers have one thing in common: they have not boosted the posts of other people often if at all.
(When I see posts like this encouraging boosting I always think "well that person just wants boosts, whatever") That's not it. On twitter it was important to only boost exceptional content -- boost here to invite more people to join in talking about something. #mastodonhowto
Some people I'm friends with have other people's boosts turned off, which is strange to me (why follow someone who annoys you at all?) but then sometimes boost stuff themselves... 🤦♂️
That seems hypocritical to me, sorry friends. 😂
@scottaw @futurebird I am not comfortable with this notion of judging how other people use their accounts.
That is an individual choice, and we all should be free to choose the way that works for us, without needing to worry what the neighbors will think and say about us.
@Supertapani @futurebird I’m not asking anyone not to. But refusing to see something yourself and then doing that same thing to others? 🤷♂️ Jerk move.
If you’re asking me to change how I feel about that, it’s a very simple no. 🤷♂️
