   The Fediverse can focus on praising what is good while also criticising what is bad. That's what makes us special. Other "social" networks use algorithms to hide the praise because only negativity brings traffic and ad click money. We are different. We can promote the good without risking being shadow-banned. Use that power. At least once a day. Deal? It takes some time to leave that pavlovian reflex of negativity behind. But at least try and you will enjoy the results :)

     Anti-patterns: Trying to slide in their DMs. Replying with unrelated questions trying to move the topic to your personal preferences. Quote posting with some snarky comment that mainly serves to make YOU feel superior or more knowledgeable. You will find out that such behaviour isn't appreciated here as much as it was on Twitter or Facebook. Because — algorithms.

     How? You don't have to hunt for good news. When you see someone posting something positive, you can boost. Or add a reply a la "I like!", "Good!", "Thank you for that!". Really. Just that short comment shows appreciation and encouragement. And costs you next to nothing. Just do it ;)
