It seems that boosting etiquette has shifted just in the year I've been here. I showed up in the big wave of ex redditors and when I first got here it was "Boost a lot! Like doesn't really do anything."

No longer.

I guess the news never made it to me, I still boost to like and favorite to bookmark. I don’t think I’ll be changing my habits anytime soon.

@iiogama @eestileib @sjolsen That's good! Because I'll probably be boosting a whole lot more from now on

@eestileib @maelstrom071 @sjolsen Lawd save me from unspoken rules of etiquette! Rules about bios, rules about following, about following BACK, about liking or boosting or what have you.

I like/found interesting/found valuable/wanted more publicity? I boost.

I want to save? I star.

I want to read later (read: forget and feel guilty about)? I bookmark.

I just like to wander around and read and talk to people and make them laugh. Y’know; be social, read media.

@eestileib @maelstrom071 @sjolsen Boosting is how fedi works.. without it everyone wold have empty timelines.

Like is a dopamine rush. It's good for the sender but not the same.
