  1. Use #boosts generously. When you #boost others, your account appears in new timelines, & people see what you value. This creates quiet reciprocity & strengthens the network. Replies matter too. Thoughtful replies are often more visible than original posts & show how you engage, not just what you broadcast.

  2. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

       Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest and then I will murmur agreement, not actually say anything. I am not as stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard ...
       But no one said anything. The cowards, each man thought.

    Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
