Just a reminder as we all try to build networks here that contain useful, trustworthy and factual info (and cats).
Favouriting (=liking on bird site) content is great for telling me you like it, but **boosting **content (=re-tweeting on the bird site) gets it out there to everyone who follows you.
**This **is how we build new networks.
And we need to do that because mis- and disinformers are better at this than us.
