@tomjennings posted about not wanting to see so many boosts in his feed, and it got me thinking about my use of boosts
i've been quote boosting instead of direct replying, because long story explanation here, and maybe i should be replying instead... i'll give this a try
@patamystic Well I think the two options are just fundamentally different with different meanings.
I reply when I want to engage the person I'm replying to, but I quote boost when I want to build on something to a broader audience, especially when I don't want to actively engage the original author.
@patamystic ha, Well that is one way to use social media. Different people use it differently.
Personally, I'm just not that interested in audience, so I don't really think of it that way. But I can see how if that's your goal then you would pay a lot of attention to this.
