@wjmaggos@liberal.city I think that thinking of “anything” being boostable is both weird and expected at the same time. We hold these thoughts in our heads concurrently because it was how the web-at-large (indieweb notwithstanding) worked. What I mean is… A news article isn’t a discrete resource shared on a common social web — such a construct does not exist outside of the Fediverse. … but news articles are littered with “share via…” buttons that sort of approximate the experience.

@wjmaggos@liberal.city that’s true for Mastodon, but not for other servers with more of a community focused aspect, like NodeBB.
