@dragoncrown @Rabbit I mean, you could always do a poll 🤷

@raphaelmorgan @Rabbit Very true, but a poll requires less commitment.

A boost means a public endorsement of the message. That's what I'm really interested in seeing.

@dragoncrown @Rabbit I guess that's fair, but I publicly endorse these all the time with most of what I say and do, so I'm still not going to boost and subject my followers to "if you don't boost the Democrat yard sign that means you don't believe in basic human rights" (not trying to be rude, I just literally have seen p much this exact post as a Democrat yard sign) just so they can go through the same moral conundrum

@raphaelmorgan @Rabbit That's fair. Far be it from me to impose like that. This isn't the bird app. 😉

@raphaelmorgan @dragoncrown @Rabbit Just as a "smile" is free and can cause only positive waves, so too is manifesting positivity by spreading it.The only cost being a decision and tap!

Nature manifests beauty as it's existence by design.

@dragoncrown @raphaelmorgan @Rabbit I'm more than willing to publicly endorse all those messages, but I suspect anyone who has spent too long on other forms of social media would see a "this is an experiment, please boost if..." as an exercise in increasing engagement metrics. I don't doubt that wasn't your intent, but that's how it can come across. For the record:

Trans rights are human rights.

Black lives matter.

No human is illegal.

Love is love.

Their body is their choice.

Science is real.

Kindness is (almost) everything.

@raphaelmorgan @dragoncrown @Rabbit would a poll allow you to see the breakdown of numbers by instances?

@Mellifluence @raphaelmorgan @Rabbit Funny you say that because I've been wondering how I'm going to parse it all in a spreadsheet. 🤣

@Mellifluence @dragoncrown it wouldn't, but would this? like I guess he could go through the boost notifications one by one and count them but that sounds pretty exhausting
(plus, looking through the boosts would only show who *did*, not who ignored, so any differences could be accounted for by who actually saw the post)
the reason he gave me is fair though, polls don't require a commitment like boosting does

@raphaelmorgan @Mellifluence There is also another corollary I am paying attention to.

One of the things I really like about Mastodon is that its very design and lack of algorithm creates a friction that inherently prevents virality.

It would take a vast, concerted user effort for a message to spread. Especially from a small account. I am interested to see how far it goes.
