🥥 Tucker Carlson's Nuts 🥥Apr 24, 2023
🥥 Please tell me if #Mastodon's little yellow star symbol for "Favorite" is NOT like the heart symbol on other social media. I've been liberally using the star to indicate that I "like" a toot, and noticing that very few others are doing the same.
Are #pachyderm people just less effusive in their praise of things they like, or am I that big of an outlier? 🥥

@JStatePost It is a private like...only the author sees it. The boost on Masto is more like the "like" on Twitter--it puts the post in your timeline for your followers to see.

So star to give a "nice post!" to the author and boost to publicly say "hey guys, read this!".

And boost liberally, because you are the "algorithm" that adds to your followers' feeds.
