@thekitmalone I think the "Boost, don't like" is driven in small part by people who want to see those follower/impression count numbers go up. Obviously, if you like something enough to want it on your page, boost away. Don't let others tell you how to use a decentralized platform...
@mrtomlegit Absolutely. And I think some of it is, like, #Fediverse activism - folks wanna see more, richer engagement and that's one way to encourage it. And I'm real sympathetic to that.
But I really think that's one place where the standard social media wisdom is still the best. Produce interesting content, be consistent, and more people will want to share it with their friends!
