Gee, it is easy for social media to feel like transactions of people-pleasing messages and approval. It is hard to not count favorites and boosts. I would love it if #Mastodon was designed to show these stats rounded to powers of ten.
E.g. your post has 0 boosts, 1 boost, 10 boosts, or 100 boosts, ....
Measuring this way would allow you to get an idea of how many favorites and boosts your post has, but without seeing each individual interaction, which I believe is more harmful than good.
