One of the super things in this Mastodon whatsit is that I can stop boosts from specific individuals. I "follow" loads of nice people who are super into boosting and it is an absolute pain in the hole.
@oisin maybe it was a Twitterrific thing, but I’d been using that aggressively for years with Twitter. I like the time-bounded mutes here. Great for when some people get very active and over dominate my timeline.
