I love being finished doomscrolling after 15 or 20 minutes not because I hate myself, but because I ran out of fresh content for the day.

Best for me is the ability to post images directly from the app / site rather than all that imgur rigmarole.
No gaming of the stats, and no arcane rejection of you comment because it didn't meet some arbitrary rules are also positives.
oh, you can do that? I tried posting a photo earlier but couldn't get it to work
This may be wrong but I believe there's a fairly low file size limit so that may be it. PNG files tend to be larger for example.
This can vary by instance. Some do not allow posting images directly at all, while others allow relatively large files.

I get to keep using Boost.
Yea, as some people have said, the fediverse and the threadiverse feel much more organic.
Also, no tracking by shady companies is a big selling point

We're well established enough that we have stereotypes about different communities... it's amusing.
It's not controlled by a single company.
The idiots have not yet found the platform, so I can enjoy more interesting discussions.
