I am a bit on the fence on this. I think reblogging is cool and nice, and it can help find new content that I wouldn't have seen before. But I've also seen some of the people I follow reblog a lot of posts. This ended up taking up too much of my feed. I ended up unfollowing them. What I'm afraid of happening with this, is that people will be reblogging a lot of things just for the reward.
Same. I take reblog as a little evil, when my feed becomes diluted with 5-10 posts in a row from authors I dont follow, I simply feel sick (as I am a natural folk with informational disease and limited info bandwidth; I also used to manual curating...). I do very little reblogs myself, and frankly, adore the same policy from the ones I follow). 🙃 When information becomes diluted at high percentage - it turn into a noise - and one have to switch off the fridgebuzzing.
Yeah I also get annoyed some times when someone new I follow starts spam reblogging, there's a way to filter your feed to exclude reblogs using @peakd but I get your point. That was also a reason I recommended a diminishing returns feature where let's say as a start we could have it where only the first 3 reblogs can give u rewards to avoid spam.
Wait, I use peakd. How does one go about doing this filter? This is the first time I've heard of this haha.
ps. at least I can do the thing now. but, heh, still suspicios. the thing is, that a good reblog is precious and useful, and I'd like to get one or two in a while from my friends who dont abuse this feature. and we come to the starting point of this circle - one have to unfollow the very active reblogging persons, if he wants to get some fresh info from his friends reblogs...
We need a feature from the front-ends to just mute reblogs from a specific person without unfollowing them. Will be really handy.
Excellent idea, very fruitful and would be really handy! 👍
Oh wow, thank you very much for that.
I didnt know about this feature. thank you too!
