Mastodon's Boost versus StarBoost shares post with others on your timeline. Star just lets the poster know you liked what they tooted. Boost is the only way to amplify a post.
InstrumentA fumbling guitarist for 40+ years. Everyday is another step towards being slightly less fumbling.

If you don't boost the posts we can't have any Fedi!

HOW CAN WE HAVE ANY FEDI IF YOU DON'T BOOST THE POSTS?!?!

I’m on Cosocial.ca. It’s a co-op instance, hosted in Canada, where all members contribute to, and have ownership of, the instance. I’ve been here for a couple of years now, and I really appreciate the co-op model because it provides more financial stability, responsive moderation, and encourages all of us to contribute to the decisions that are made here. So lots of pros. Character limitation falls into the con category…but that forces me to be more concise. 😊

This is how you know the bike network is working!

Ditto:

'Why are you still on Bluesky too?'

'But did you *delete* your Twitter account?'

’You said you switched to Proton mail too, oh that’s bad, once someone at Proton said something’

It’s nice to see new neighbours move into the Fediverse. It feels unwelcoming to see people immediately interview them about the purity of their intentions. Or telling them You’re Doing It Wrong. They've just arrived on a journey away from Big Tech. Maybe they'd prefer to be offered a seat and a cup of tea.
