Everybody was worried that Quote boosts on Mastodon would lead to dogpiling, etc. Nobody ever Quote posts me.

<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.

<joking>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.

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. 🫡

<joking>@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
