    folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

    it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

    @sarae
    You re not alone, I am spending less and less time here eventually I will just give it a skip.

    I am already wondering if we’re heading for another Twitter

          @sarae I'm not favoriting for range, I'm favoriting to signal the poster that in some way I resonate with their post (exact resonating depending on the context obviously). That's how I did it back on Twitter and that's how I do it here 🤷‍♀️

            @sarae im pretty new here (my account is a few years old but i stopped using mastodon for a few years and am only returning now) so im always nervous about interacting with posts thinking im doing something wrong. I'm still never sure on boosting, but I do favorite posts all the time so the replies here being generally positive is reassuring :3

                @sarae Sometimes, I don't know what to say and click the "favorite" icon as a way of acknowledging what was said. This is often the case when someone makes a heavy or sensitive post, and I simply don't know how to respond such that not even a single emoji would do.

                  @sarae @colo_lee @GPJohnston it is very nice to assume someone just wants to share newfound knowledge.

                  maybe it is worded as "advice" because this a style of conversation people are used to.

                  you can also word it as "something I learned" and hope that others find useful so I am sharing it.

                  Yep. Stating things as "this is what I do, and here's why" works a whole lot better for me than telling other people what to do.

                          @sarae 'Liking' instead of boosting is a way to interact without everyone muting you for reposting all sorts of crap they don't care about.

                          Did
                          I like your post about the Japanese rapper Creepy Nuts? Yes. Does anyone in my instance give a shit? Probably not. 🙂

                            @sarae Also fundamentally fails to understand that all interactions contribute to whether or not something makes it to trending pages in most server software (including Mastodon).

                                I love that bit of the fedi. I see something that makes me smile or otherwise appreciate? I click the ❤️ . I see something I think others would find interesting? I click the 🔁 to boost it. With zero concern for what it's doing to any algorithm somewhere, because my timeline is exactly that—chronological. If you appreciate someone's post, let them know with a ♥️

                                    very same! especially because my account is a hybrid business/personal one. sometimes boosting just isn't right, but if i like, i like!

                                      seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

                                      folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

                                      it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird

                                        Fediverse truly is tumblr sometimes (they have the same round of posts like "always reblog instead of liking")

                                          @sarae Shit like this is why I don't post on this account very much. There's always someone out there trying to tell me how to use the Fediverse according to their rules. It's also why I'm pretty liberal with using the block button.
