PSA: if your casts are boosted you don’t need to tell us they’re boosted (not interesting), just cast what you want to talk about or share (interesting) and more people will see it

I am!

I just want us to talk less about the boosts themselves and more about whatever interesting thoughts or feelings that person has to share, that’s the whole point

I actually like people sharing their boost screenshots

- it's a self spreading meme
- they're genuinely just excited
- seeing some new faces on the feed is nice
- giving people tools to grow their reach benefits everyone

Counterpoint: it’s interesting to be excited about feeling seen

I’m all for folks being excited but I’d rather see them cast about stuff they’re interested in so that I can get to know them instead of just saying “omg I’m boosted” all over my feed with no way to opt out

Glad they’re excited and I like boosts! I’d love to know more about them and being boosted isn’t a personality trait

Oh fuck I’m being boosted.

As fitting a time as ever to talk about distribution 🧵👇


do I get credit for trying to make a thematic connection and not just plainly stating it? 😄

Eh, still felt very Twitter threadboi-ish

Can try and see if that helps, gut instinct is that people will want to talk about it anyway since it's an easy first cast once boosted

what about updating the boost notification with something like

Your casts will be boosted to users who don't follow. Tips to make a good first impression:
- do: introduce yourself, share your thoughts on topics you're an expert in, host an AMA
- don't: low effort post, talk about being boosted

copy suggestions?

I dislike “omg I’m boosted” on my home feed over and over and over and over. I hope people see this and take your advice.
