       A quick explainer about the Mastodon like. It is a personal message to the writer of the post that you liked it, and no one else will know that you clicked it.If you want to spread the post, that's the boost button. The equivalent of a Twitter like is to do both a like and a boost. If you think this post is useful to you click "like". If you think it would be useful for others too, click "boost" as well.

       Apparently some people automatically delete older posts if they don't get enough likes, so they are a multi purpose thing. There's probably other subtleties that I'm not aware of too. A messaging network set up by geeks is going to be quite clever!
