My theory is some people are used to how things worked on Twitter and their algorithm.
If you re-Tweeted a post it bumped up its noticeability. But the secret was if you un-Tweeted, you could dramatically harm its rating and chance to get noticed. The system would assume something was wrong and reconsider your placement.
The Fediverse, has no such algorithm, and things do not work that way (thankfully). But I do notice this happens more frequently when I post my dislike for Donald Trump and it got me thinking. 🤔
