the roamer<p>Roamer, the Lady Joan Mastodon said to me. My trusted friend and adviser. I know you must leave. You go with my blessing. Roam. Plant the hashtags, our cause depends on them. When you encounter scrapers, slay them. When you encounter the Great Algo, stay out of his way. Listen to the toots around you and make your own toots resonate with them. Boost the beautiful and unique. Forgive our fellow tooters who visit DarkSky: they know not what they do. Our cause is good: free, self-determined expression. We will prevail. The Great Algo is strong now but he will vanish. Fare thee well, Roamer, she said. Roam.</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/JoanMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JoanMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/hashtags" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hashtags</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/boosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boosting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/resonate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>resonate</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/noScrape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>noScrape</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/MastodonCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MastodonCulture</span></a></p>

Folx posting about #ICE while never even #boosting MA for Brown folx in this colonialized chunk of Turtle Island are so performative it makes me wanna vomit

I'm sure the other #MetaDemon (fb vs insta) is full of the shit

Ya'll are PAWNS of the death machine and it's laughable

I'll have a good giggle from the grave

Here's why your #boosts matter so much on the #Fediverse:

There is no algorithm here. Nothing is going to insert
#content into your #timeline that an algorithm thinks you might be interested in.

Your timeline consists solely of the content from the people you
#follow, and the content they #boost.

No boosts and you will never find out about that cool artist that started posting their artwork. You will never find out about the photographer that just joined a Pixelfed instance and is sharing their amazing photos.

Likes don't show up in the timelines of the accounts that follow you.

The only way for people to find new and cool content and accounts to follow is by you and I #boosting their content.

Probably TMI but here's a draft flowchart of what goes through my brain when I'm considering whether to boost an image. Not included but of course important: (1) Is image made by a human? (2) Is there something in the body of the text that's mildly interesting? (3) Is account an actual person active on the platform? (4) Are number of hashtags in Goldilocks zone? #boosts #AltText #copyright #photography #accessibility #boosting #CreativeCommons

Nudging or #boosting – which behavioural approach works best for decision-making? 🤔 In a review paper, researchers MPI for Human Development suggest that #boosting - empowering rather than steering - can lead to lasting, informed decisions even amid manipulative choice architectures.

Well, guess this can serve as both my #introduction and my #ComingOut post!

Hi! I'm Megan, a 44yo freshly-hatched #trans woman living in #Boston and just starting on my transition journey. I'm mostly just a grab-bag of dusty memes and pop culture references, but am also trying to become a good little leftist and be more politically active. I do a lot of #boosting, but I'm hoping to start writing more of my own toots as I work through both my gender and political awakening.

Much love to @theropologist and all the folks at beige.party for letting me visit for a spell, but I'm not nearly funny enough to hang with them (you should totally follow everyone there, though!). Hope I can find my tribe here on tech.lgbt instead. 😊

See you around the #fediverse! 😘

I can’t think of anything else that upsets me about #Mastodon so I might just as well get back to the boosting issue.

I have a suggestion of the “what if” sort this time. What if your #home #timeline also showed #toots #favorited by the people you #follow. Wouldn’t it be nice to boost the boosting function this way and give an extra power-up to the content #distribution?

Ok, I may not be the first to come up with this idea. Maybe it has already been tested and proved technically unfeasible. But still, what if....
