Both terms are used interchangeably on the Fediverse. When you boost, you are choosing to share the post with your own Followers, out with that of the original poster's reach. It is a great way to share information, and also grow your and others reach. More people will see the content, and may therefore interact/follow you or the original poster. text/html 2023-07-22T22:07:45+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://thefedi.wiki.justdaj.com/mastodon/user/content-warning?rev=1690063665&do=diff Content Warning A Content Warning is typically used in a post where you feel readers may find the post controversial, disturbing, or visually challenging.
