@cwebber unrelated to the thread but somewhat related to what that person was saying: is there a reason why you boost your own self-replies? i think the overwhelming majority of fedi apps will show self-replies in timelines, so boosting yourself just makes your posts show up twice in a row, which is unnecessary. (i can understand doing it on bluesky, because bluesky collapses reply chains to max 3 or so, but fedi largely doesn't do that...)

@trwnh I boost my own replies so you see it twice because then it means the reply is double good

@cwebber @trwnh The lack of algorithm means mastodon's feeds are dominated by nature's most implacable algorithm, time. idk if I want to make a general case for this, but I like it when some of the people I follow boost or edit their posts because, if they didn't, I wouldn't see the posts. This is especially the case when the people are in different time zones (i.e., most people).
