Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.
Not the case.
It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.
Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.
By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.
So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.

After much consideration, I've come up with my own definition of "Favorite" and "Boost".
"Favorite" means I read this, and I acknowledge what you wrote - good, bad or neutral.
"Boost" means other people should see this, too.
