@moira @Tattooed_Mummy tbh I would prefer even more, a "hide this user's boosts of their own toots". I don't mind people showing me things but I don't need them to re-show me themselves fifty times a day. I have a chronological timeline here that I generally read all of. (How else would I complete the Internet?)

@moira Both of those options are amazing and are perfect for people that want to follow me, but don't want 100+ cat picture boosts everyday. 
The timed mute is used often on some of my friends during Monsterdon for an hour or two (that way I don't have to mute the whole tag).
@catsalad exactly! it's so good.
I mean a lot of people follow me _because_ I boost like a mofo, I do what it says on the tin, BUT IF THAT'S NOT YOU WANT YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEE IT and that's fucking _great_.
and time-limited mutes? fuck that's good. purest "jesus fuck I cannot deal with your bullshit right now" in luxury automated timer format. mute somebody for a day, for a week, however long it takes until they flip back from asshole to funny again. love that shit.

@interpipes This "re-showing" helps me to think one more time if i REALLY have to boost sth 😁 Really, just bc i'm SO glad to have found sth it might still not help SO many others and those who are interested in the topic might already have seen it via following the hashtag in it or other sources.
@Magda_93d I mean, sometimes there are good reasons to boost your own posts. Occasionally.
But some people boost everything they have posted, several times a day, a lesson I suspect they have learned from the algorithms of other social medias and/or they have a lot of followers who skip most of their timeline backlog.
@FediTips
once informed me that if you want people to read a reply, _beyond those who follow both of you_ you need to boost it.
So that's why I boost my replies if they scope beyond the thread
