CW: [1/4] Boosting my own replies: Who can see the self-boosted reply? [1] The rationale for hiding boosts from Home.
Many of us follow many accounts. This leads to a Home timeline that is very busy, especially if our Follows are heavy boosters.
The interface allows us to hide all boosts from Home, so that we only see original posts by our Follows. It's refreshing. There are no third-party posts and I can focus on the actual comments of my Follows.
