What if there was an option to hide boosts that have been boosted more than [x] times? 🤔

Why? Are you re-seeing the same posts, or do you just not want to be attached to what's popular?

And yes, I'm seeing dead peop… ahem, the same toot boosted more than x times within a single day, too. And getting such "dupes" filtered out would something I'd love as well. Popularity is quite subjective: I can open a boosted toot to see those numbers if I want to 😉

@WomanCorn Same posts is definitely one half of it.

The other half is that I'm trying to regain control of the firehose that my timeline has become. And yes, I want to give priority to the quieter voices on here. If you think that's antisocial, I don't know what to tell you...

@Coffee eh. 99% of that is just for the joke.

The other 1% is something like <hating on what's popular is bad.>

Amplifying voices that are usually drowned out sounds like a good thing to me, actually. I wonder what it would take to make that an option.
