On Masto, there are three ways to like something:
* Bookmarks: Like something without telling anyone else you like it.
* Favorites. Send someone a virtual ping to let them know you like something.
* Boosting. Sends a virtual ping to the author. Lets your followers know that post is worth reading. Shows the post to any server with which your instance federates.
Every time I view a post, I think, who should know I like this post. Just me? The post author? Or everyone I follow? That helps me determine which of the three classifiable like actions I should choose.
