seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

@sarae literally who says this

I've never seen anyone make this recommendation

@schratze I'm glad to hear this hasn't been part of your experience, since I think it's a fairly unhealthy way to approach online interactions

not as unhealthy as rocking up in a total stranger's replies and attacking their credibility

but pretty unhealthy, nonetheless!

@sarae I did not intend to doubt your credibility. I apologize for that.

@sarae @schratze Tee hee I was amused by the way in which you put this.
