Just to clarify: when I boost a post, it doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with it.
Often, I do it just to give visibility (and, consequently, to see the comments) on the topic being discussed - especially if it’s a post from a BSD Cafe user.

While I totally agree with you, boosting something adds it to your public timeline, so any casual observer without context about you will inevitably consider it as part of what you are.

When I want to give visibility to an awful post, I just link to it in my own one, prefixed by a bitter and awry comment.

I also wish social networks were designed differently, but it's too late.

@angel When I openly agree with something, I reply saying "I agree" and explain why.

Yes, I'm definitely old 😆
