@bibliolater When the second 'o' turns into an 'a', I guess? 🤭

Seriously, a good question. If almost everything is boosted, the opportunity to curate the info-space is lost.

I don't care who says what, but feel a real responsibility concerning what kind of thoughts linger in the cyberspace. Some I like, some I don't, but at least I try to think if it is good or useful, or maybe just fun in a benign way, and act accordingly.

@bibliolater it is better to boost over favorite, since that is the main way content travels among the instances.

If anyone is annoyed by boosts and/or replies of a thread, one can set the user experience in such a fashion that only original posts are shared. The option is hidden under the account that is being a nuisance.
