Pro Tip: If you want to avoid recreating the twitter site, instead of amassing followers, pick a few like minded folks from your interests out of the feed and just enjoy hanging out.
They'll help you find others and pretty quickly you'l have a nice little comfy group.
While J keeps us safe from trolls, we can also keep ourselves happy by just enjoying our interests and letting the rest roll by in the firehose.
I was going to boost this but noticed that I already did a while back 😊👍
Really useful input!!
@Minholkin I unboost it and reboot it from time to time.
I do that too for messages that feel important to me. It took me years to get over the weirds of self-boosting 😆
@Minholkin I figure public service announcements aren’t really self boosting.
@Minholkin
Well NOW I want to see your shoe
@sfleetucker
Oh that’s helpful and I hadn’t considered it from that lens!! Thank you! It’s not like I’m boosting a post about my shoes or some personal happy news—it’s usually an invitation to gratitude or an alternate perspective 💙
