What model mobo did you use?

I’ll have to disagree there. When you Favourite a post, the person that posted it gets a notification about the fact, while if you Bookmark something no notification is sent. In effect you are telling the person that you “Liked” their post.

Also, looking at the Explore section of Mastodon the following message is shown at the top of the feed:

These are posts from across the social web that are gaining traction today. Newer posts with more boosts and favorites are ranked higher.

So those Favourites are used by the algorithm to rank posts. Bookmarks are totally private and only used to save posts for your own use.

I don’t see it that way. There are separate options to Favourite or Bookmark a post. To me Bookmarking something is so you can refer to it later, although nothing is stopping you using Favourites that way.

I recently got my first FreeSync monitor and it’s the best thing ever. Everything looks so smooth!

Just came to the comments page and it said “You must log in or register to comment.” I was already signed in 💀

That’s a very specific sub-genre.
