#some got kinda drowned in notifications and i wasn't able to check as much later in the day bc of Obligations

[nylarac]

while it is sad that booping is gone now i am glad the notifications are still here it's fun going through and checking out everyone's blogs

a lot of them are mutuals whose blogs i probably haven't been on directly since i originally followed or ppl who booped me randomly who i now follow <3

i really liked booping not only for the reasons everyone says (low stakes way to interact, watch number go up, etc) but bc it gave me a reason to go to ppl's blogs and read their little bios and it's like. wrow that's a whole live person who interacted w me

which maybe is weird to say but i follow literal thousands of ppl and since a lot of them mostly just reblog posts and rarely make personal ones/talk in the tags (which is a fine way to use the site btw not knocking this) a lot of the time it feels more like the posts just kind of appear on my dash and i kind of forget there's an actual person behind all of them

there are ofc plenty of mutuals/long time followers who stood out beforehand whether bc we have exchanged messages before or bc i just see them in my notifications a lot but like considering the sheer amount of ppl i follow there are a ton where this is the most we've interacted outside of reblogging lol

booping just felt like more of a community and it was really nice and fun i will miss it
