"No, I didn't know [that Harry Potter would be so successful]... I think it's very dangerous for a writer to start thinking in those terms." --J.K. Rowling
  • If you haven’t read them yourself then you don’t understand how truly horrible her writing is. Her prose is wooden, her dialogue is forced, and she named a Chinese character “Cho Chang” with a straight face. There are plot holes so big that she has to continually go back and retcon random bullshit, like the literal plumbing at Hogwarts. The big scary spell is “abracadabra” with one letter changed.

    She’s a hack.

    why do mastodon toots have more boosts then favorites?
  • Mastodon has no algorithm, instead the users determine what spreads - so boosting posts is what helps them be shown to more people.

    Favoriting a post on Mastodon doesn’t show it to your followers, so it doesn’t contribute to the “algorithm” the way boosting a post does. But it does tell the creator that you liked their content!
