    I should probably stop boosting everything I find remotely noteworthy. Good thing no one follows me. I’d be a spam generator for them.

      I mean from that description, it sounds like it is just like retweeting something. Good to know. Don’t boost porn. Got it.

      Fortunately, on Mastodon at least, you can set a per person ignore/hide on boosts. Very helpful if they do good posts but are generally spammy with boosts.

      Eh. I think a combination of remembering how indifferently casual my sphere of tumblr and old Twitter used to be along with knowing the thing tied to reputation was initially boost instead of the formerly decorative upvote button (it’s fixed now) made me fairly free with who gets it.

      Doesn’t have to be profound, just has to be something I really enjoyed or found important, and which I wouldn’t mind others seeing. I’ll reblog someone’s crappy poem about having eaten plums, Idc.

      I have like four people following me (hi peeps, why tho?) and honestly they made that decision. If they didn’t want to hear the things I wanna talk about, they wouldn’t choose to follow me and they should be amending that.
