Don't listen to anyone who says "likes don't matter" on here.

Yes, it's true that there's no algorithm for them to feed.

But letting people you know that you like what they're sharing, that you agree with them, that they're not just shouting into an empty abyss? That matters.

@design_law If I boosted everything I favourited, my TL would be a confusing bin fire for new followers! I mean, I enjoy all the whimsical pictures of moss, dad jokes and such like, but chances are those following for the geopolitics probably don't.

If you're a single-interest account, sure, boost don't like. But if you're broadly interested in all sorts of things, boost only what you think followers will enjoy and favourite the rest!

@BarrenPlanet @design_law interesting perspective. I often use the boost to signal that Iā€™m not a one note human. That, and to be honest, I like sowing a bit of chaos.

@Shepherdess @design_law Ha! I save the chaos for my Replies section. šŸ˜ˆ
