Noticed that github.com/wader/fq now has over 10k internet pointz! (github stars) 🎈 but not sure what that means

#fq #internetpoints

Hey #Mastodon,

If you like some content, please boost it instead of just favoriting it. Favoriting a post does nothing except give the author a dopamine hit that gets addictive. Boosting makes content much more meaningful by sharing it with a wider audience. To me, that matters much more than how many internet points I get.

#SocialMedia #addiction #content #sharing #knowledge #KnowledgeSharing #education #awareness #InternetPoints #popular #PopuarityContest

(bonus #InternetPoints if you spot the actual error that #Hatchling1 pointed out to me)

Here's your reminder that it's all made up and the points don't matter.
Stay wavey my dudes.
