#reboosts — Public Fediverse posts

@mastodonmigration @vmstan @heidilifeldman @GottaLaff @Teri_Kanefield @skykiss @Nonilex @pdougmc @jackiegardina @SteveThompson @VOANews Thanks for the kind mention. I post mostly my #NYC #streetstyle #photography, with some breaking and #political #news. I DO focus more on posting my original #content, and less on #reboosts. And oh yes, I recently bought a new #tesla, which I love, although I hate #elonmusk . Ugh.

#ReBoosts of ads/article links

I really like your publication.
I have, however, seen this ad for about the 10th time in subsequent days, and am still not interested.

Similarly, with other reboosts.

I really do not want to mute your handle in general.

Wouldn't it be possible that you use unique identifier-hashtags, so that readers could mute a particular ad/reference link?

E. g. #TA1234567

Thank you for your consideration.

@brooklynmarie
On #twitter I ditched the algorithm and ads by reading chronologically with #Tweetbot

But I always filtered simple #retweets which I found overwhelming, instead just following People’s tweets and #QuoteTweets

For me, it filters for better content to remove simple boosts than #boosts with added content, so if we’re creating our own #algorithm I’d like to do that

Making “#reboosts” higher friction maybe, and voluntary for the original poster?

But I might like them

@vy2hf in #Tusky (Android), to mute #reboosts, you do the following:

Preferences --> Filters/Tabs --> un-check the "show boosts" box

I can't speak to the official app but Tusky (available on #Fdroid) had that capability.
