Bit frustrating how limited your options are on #Mastodon.
You can boost a post, but that's only good for posts that stand by themselves.
You can star/"favorite", but - for reasons unclear to me - people seem to avoid using it. There are posts with ever so many boosts, but hardly any stars. Am I missing something?
And perhaps I want to express my dislike for something? Currently, I can only ignore it, or reply to it.
