Grow Fediverse<p>I'm going on a <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=BoostDiet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoostDiet</span></a> for a while.</p><p>What is that?</p><p>A focus on posting or replying with my own thoughts, rather than just silently resharing stuff, and to gather contacts whose posts don't just predominantly consist of reshares/boosts.</p><p>Why?</p><p>As I've settled into Fediverse, I noticed that over time more of my feeds consist of reshares. Those reshares are often:<br>- content that originated from walled garden social sites<br>- content that has the fingerprint of forced labor content mills & state actor disinfo operations<br>- current events panic rather than current events problem solving</p><p>Basically the kind of stuff i wanted to leave behind from the legacy corporate social sites. I believe that making content, rather than just resharing existing content, strengthens and protects Fediverse. It decentralizes influence by filling it with more real engagement and a broader content surface, rather than concentrating viewership through vapid reshares of the same prolific content mills.</p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=BoostDiet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoostDiet</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=LegacySocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LegacySocial</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=Pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pixelfed</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=Friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Friendica</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=ActivityPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ActivityPub</span></a></p>
