Are favourites toots private? Can someone else view them? Are they automatically shown up in timelines (as liked tweets do).
Also, does favourite really imply agreement? To me atleast, I favourited tweets that I didn’t agree with just because they pointed to a well constructed argument, or for future reference.
Since twitter changed terminology to like I’ve stopped doing that.
- zaarn 8y agoFavorites don't show up in any timeline other than your own favorite list. To my knowledge, others cannot see favorites but I might be wrong, I can't access my own instance atm due to a network filter. The canonical way is to retweet (boost) a toot which shows up in the timeline of your followers and your profile (the boosted tweet will also show up on the federated timeline but not associated with you).
