fav if you think "fav if you agree (boost if you think it needs attention)" is superior

@CobaltVelvet how dare you dismantle my false dichotomy with reasonable alternatives

@CobaltVelvet florp if you think "fav if you agree (boost if you think it needs attention)" is inferior to "florp if you agree (relay if you think it needs attention)"

@luluberlu cybre.space uses silly terminology but i think it's better than the default so

@viomi @luluberlu ""sigil if you agree (channel if you think it needs attention)" is superior to all of this.

@CobaltVelvet so wait if I boost this, am I tacitly agreeing that "fav if you think 'fav if you agree (boost if you think it needs attention)' is superior" needs attention?

@CobaltVelvet @Thib
Fav is by design a sort of bookmark actually...

@LienRag @CobaltVelvet yes and no: if it were just a bookmark, there would be no need to count them or notify authors. In ActivityPub terminology, they are likes.

@CobaltVelvet Birds are weird. Fav if you agree.

@CobaltVelvet I don't necessarily agree with what I fav. It's just something I find interesting, though I might disagree with it a the moment.

@CobaltVelvet Boost and fav never mean agreement for me. :)
it's « worth spreading » or not and « worth reminding » or not.
