Mastodon works differently to Twitter, so heres some tips:

- Favouriting something tells the poster you liked it, and it shows up in your own Favourites list. It does *nothing* to tell others about it - there is no algorithm here!
- Boosting tells your followers about a post. You can boost AND favourite, and you should probably boost more than you retweeted on twitter!
- You find stuff using hashtags, so don't forget to use them!

I’m beginning to see quite a few “this is a positive space, there is no place for negativity here” style posts (especially by newer folks) so I want to hopefully clear something up:

This is also a space to be protected. From fascists, bigots, etc., and also from corporate capture (unless you want to watch it turn into what the greater web turned into. Some of us lived through that once. Would be nice not to again.) Opposing such things—and vocally if need be—is not a negative; it is a positive.
