What’s the point? Is it just to be like twitter? Why did twitter have that anyway. And if I hide mine I still show up in other people’s public follower pages? That’s dumb

For point one: Not everyone is into boosting or retweeting. Some actually find it a bit obnoxious.
Some people I might enjoy finding to follow, friends, community members, etc, might not be ones to post anything boost worthy.
For the other points, I assume these are just artifacts of Mastodon’s federated nature? Not sure exactly.
These sorts of platforms are not designed like a Facebook profile.
