Software developer, keyboard player, kayaker, home cook. Casual gamer. Preferred games are no faster than Portal and less violent than chess. I need time to think.

C#, Swift, Javascript, C.

Windows for work, everything else at home. Keeping things separate.

Living in bicycle country. The one without blue in the flag.

I could add a bunch of flags here, but there’s no black, gray, white and purple emoji, and I don’t want pink, white and blue to feel lonely.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what's the point of boosting AND favoriting the same post on ?

The way I understand it, a boost is "I likr this and want my followers to see it", and a favorite is "I like this, but my followers probably aten't interested". Which makes doing both seem pointless to me, but I often see the same person doing both in my notifications, so what am I missing?

@leeloo for me, it's because favorites are in their own column, seperated from the rest of my posts and easier to go back and rummage through.

@leeloo to share that info with the creator. Also, favorites and boosts are the "Trending" metric for Mastodon instances
