People boost the most random shit on here
oh you little shits
It’s funny how people who boosted early did it to troll me and the people replying after it’s been boosted a million times somehow think I was trying to get my post boosted 😂
But no, I was actually calling out how boost culture makes it so that I have to scroll through tons of context-less posts and try to make sense of them. It’s very tiring for someone who really just wants to catch up with friends.
@shantini I know there’s a Mastodon specific reason why people use it so much, but I hate it. I just want to ‘Like’ posts I like, not endorse and promote them with a boost
@danimal @shantini isn’t that exactly what favoriting them does?
@chucker @shantini yes and I use favoriting/liking 95% of the time. Most others seem to prefer boosting, which to me is wrong. People boost really bland things all the time
