@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.
