There is no shame in posting the same thing repeatedly or boosting your own posts. On Mastodon it's the necessity, different people are awake during different hours. #Mastodon#MastodonTips
@rolle I've never seen anything wrong with boosting/retweeting my own posts. I've always found it ridiculous to construe a huge difference between publishing them and republishing them.
@hllizi@rolle I love how people will pay to see a comedian’s live show in which they tell the same jokes as they do on their Netflix special, but folks who repost their own jokes (which they conceive and share for free) on social media are treated like hacks.
@rolle But it is annoying when someone reposts a dozen or so posts in quick succession, so your feed ends up being just them for a while. Especially when you're seeing the same posts two, three or four times, often from weeks ago. I have a particular person I follow in mind, should I tell them? I don't know them personally.
@rolle There's no shame in it, but it can get kind of annoying to your followers who see the same content over and over. Especially if you un-boost and re-boost the same post over and over.
@rolle Sounds weird, to say the least. 😲 This is the first time I hear that self-boosting might be considered appropriate even in social media. But I have been here only 7 months (tomorrow) and not aquainted with the modern boasting and glowing etiquettes. Sounds ominously like marketing, but maybe it's just me and my old-school manners?
