If you get legitimately offended when someone boosts their own posts, I think you'll have a really bad time with the Fediverse, unfortunately. But maybe that's just me?

There's not been a time on Fedi where I haven't had a few people that I follow boost their own posts every now and then.
Sometimes, people post when nobody's online. Is it bad for wanting people to see your post? Isn't that why we're here? To share stuff with others?
If I was posting for myself, I'd just keep a journal...️

I wish people wouldn't do this. we're not supposed to see every post. it's a river. if it's awesome, you will see it boosted by somebody else. trust the universe. when you boost your own post, that means your follower will see that instead of something by somebody else they are following, in the limited time they are here. so then we could just have everybody boosting their own stuff constantly. that would suck. same problem as algos, but by your followers instead of the site owner.

@wjmaggos ️I do it a couple times a week because I am here for my posts to be seen by my followers. If it bothers you, obviously feel free to hide my boosts.

@BeAware Absolutely very well said.
I don't mind it.
I mind if that's all a person does is boost other people's stuff with no original content, but really I try not to judge.
People's social media spaces are their own. If someone wants to boost their own stuff for visibility, who am I to judge? I do the same thing sometimes.

not that big of an issue. my bigger problem is people just constantly boosting (their stuff and others) all the time. I'll turn off boosting for them sometimes. but boosting (other people's stuff) more here than other places is warranted imo until the fedi is more popular.

@BeAware I post odd hours a lot lol
-
@TengoHipo SAME! I have insomnia
-
@BeAware valid reason lol I just have weird hours some times and have thoughts 🫠
-
@TengoHipo I totally understand, friend. We weird people wanna be seen too!
Weirdos for Visibility United!

@BeAware also I’m making an aipub Spotify playlist because why not. Any songs you recommend to add?
-
@TengoHipo that are made with AI?
-
@BeAware be seen or wish you hadn’t
-
@TengoHipo facts. I'm sure you seen my little (big) mishap the past few days...
-
@BeAware any songs you enjoy so or not. I want to get a big variety. Just something fun
-
@BeAware lol yep but we are human. No one is perfect. It’s those imperfections that make us who we are.
-
@TengoHipo well, I don't know your tastes. I am a big hip hop/rap fan. So let me know if that's fine and I can recommend some things.
HOWEVER, definitely need to add "Blue jeans and bloody tears" to an AIPub playlist. It's an AI song that won Eurovision a few years back.

-
@BeAware I listen to everything and it’s a playlist for everyone so anything goes! I will definitely add it. I made a post about it so feel free to boost it lol
