    Everybody was worried that Quote boosts on Mastodon would lead to dogpiling, etc. Nobody ever Quote posts me. Kind of makes me feel a little like Jeb Bush every now and then when I think that nobody thinks I am worth quoting OR the trolls figure they don't even need to bother with me.

    "Please Boost, <insert pathetic Jeb face>

    😂 <joking>

        @paul Oh, you're quotable! See #PaulsRaccoonWar!

        But after seeing it abused on The Site That Shall Not Be Named, I didn't want that done on Mastodon.

          I still see ppl simply replying to a post & adding tags. "Promoting to ...." What are you promoting? I'm not interested in tapping into that & waiting for the whole thread to load just to learn what someone is talking about.

            @paul

            Or, far more reasonably, just quote the post & add tags. A quote is just a boost with comment. You have the context. Much more sensible. I don't understand all the angst around these basic features. But then, I liked Twitter before Musk.

            Anyway thanks for the #HashtagGames. 🫡

              @paul Some apps don't have the QB yet. Haven't yet found it on Tusky, so I have to go back to official Masto to QB, which usually means I don't bother.

                @darth_hideout I was making a joke (or thought I was). I really don't care if am quoted or boosted. I never was into the viral thing.

                I do like it when people quote to start separate conversations, or viewpoints, hot takes, etc. instead of long reply chains.

                One thing about being on the Fediverse, I pretty much have a clean follow/followers list of people that want to share, have conversations, etc and not after being viral
