I need your help...
Every day I put out a post to encourage people to Toot about their lives. Mundane or interesting.
I do this is to keep the social aspect of Mastodon alive. It's easy to forget, in a world of niche content, all of the things that make us who we are.
When we share our lives, we can see ourselves in others. We can see what makes us different, and yet the same.
That's beautiful.
So PLEASE, if you see any of my boosts with #today in it, BOOST it.
Let's keep Mastodon social.
When I first arrived here from that other place, there were posts galore telling us to "boost, boost, boost."
I also prefer to see posts written by a person I'm following, whether the posts are personal stories, information, or opinion pieces, than all boosts. I think we are busy though, and with so many bright and informed people in the #Fediverse, it's easy to boost than to write.
@sandearl @Mrfunkedude I was thinking along these same lines. I'd rather interact with someone who has at least an occasional original thought vs. someone who only shares what others have to say.
Yes, boosting is important. So is the mundane... it keeps us grounded. Without the ordinary things to talk about, this place becomes like Twitter where everyone is just looking for the next sensational clickbait.
