Want a "Boost with different connotations" button for when I see two people debating (or not even debating really 'cause they're more or less on the same side but just, chewing on the nuance) and someone makes a great point and then someone else makes the opposite point really well and I don't actually have much of an opinion myself but the back-and-forth is great enrichment

Like stroking my beard and going "Hmm, yeah" at OP and then stroking my beard and going "Hmm, yeah" at disagreeing replier, if I boost both then that has connotations of how I feel about this particular issue and maybe I don't actually KNOW how I feel, I'm not endorsing a viewpoint, I'm enjoying this tennis

Finger on the monkey's paw curls up

🐰 dude, did you really just neutraboost me? This deeply affects me personally, and you treat this as ENTERTAINMENT? Christ you ASS

🦝 wow that's a great nuance *neutraboosts*

Nuance-boost, Neutral-viewpoint boost, Non-Endorsing boost, Nonstandard boost, what are some other words that begin with N and describe alternative emotions for boosting so we can call this a noost
Beest: just a little forest creature bringing you a toot, i don't know if it's good or not
Bust: unboosts someone else's toot
boost thread to make all of fedi uncomfortably selfconscious about their boosts
@ifixcoinops Brooost!: tells people this toot would make a good ELO lyric
@ifixcoinops
Nonce-boost, for when boosting a Wrong Opinion.
@ifixcoinops Is this just quote tweeting but with an emoji attached?
@scarlett the Quoot-With-Caveat button, or Conditional Quoot,
@ifixcoinops 5 boosts, 20 stars, 50 popcorns.
@jripley @ifixcoinops ooh Popcorns should be a thing for sure!

@ifixcoinops

What you want is 'boost with an emoji'.

@ifixcoinops boost button but you can specify the entire emotional valence as a vector with uncertainty intervals
@ifixcoinops I want a boost button that says "The following boost does not constitute endorsement of the point of view expressed but merely that this is a fascinating conversation and I would like to see more people with more viewpoints contribute to it"

@ifixcoinops

  • boost (positive)
  • boost (derogatory)
  • boost (sexual)
@Tak @ifixcoinops boost (I want to increase the clock speed on my 386)
@ifixcoinops what about quote to the head of the intereating part with your comment about 'nice tennis'?
@ifixcoinops I’d settle for “boost this and don’t let people include me in their replies”.
