When I started on Mastodon, people would advise me to “only Boost posts.” Since there’s no algorithm that places a value on Favorites, “only Boosts have value.”

I disagree completely.

When people Favorite my posts, they unwittingly introduce themselves to me. I have discovered some very interesting people that I may not have if they didn’t Favorite my posts.

Keep ‘em coming. It’s nice to meet you.

@gadgetboy @keenan OMG I can’t agree more. I see this all the time too and I’ve never understood it. As if the reason we’ve all favorited things in the past was to boost them in the algorithm 🙃
