I say this a bunch but one of the sheer joys of Mastodon is simply boosting stuff you like. I mean it's so silly but here, you get to be the algorithm. If you don't boost, it don't get boosted. So... whatever your reasons, boost, boost, boost!

Drop that goddam shyness that the other sites somehow programmed into you, as if your own stuff will get punished if you help others' along.

Also boost is nice word.
