I have to give credit where it's due, I actually like this change. Likes used to be private, and then they became public and subject to the toxic performativity of social media
Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking when Twitter decided to make likes public by default and even go so far as to show your likes on your followers' feeds. Seemed creepy and parasocial and is one of the factors that drove me away from Twitter, so this is a good change.
I like the ideology of having private likes, the problem is you need to trust the platform in order to have a system like that, back when Lakes were private there was trust in the platform nowadays there's zero trust in the platform, it wouldn't surprise me if they're going to use this to fake engagement numbers for their userbase
Likes should have been hidden in lemmy too /s
My instance tried to disable downvotes and it was a fiasco.
So yeah a lot of people are keen to remove user feedback in any way possible in the hope to lessen toxicity until they notice that it's a double edged sword. People can't dislike stuff just to troll or for bad reasons. But people couldn't even downvote a spam bot and you essentially are at the mercy of anybody if a mod is not close by ready to act. Likes and dislikes are a way to outsource moderation to the users. So either X has a secret army of moderators or that will just result in a lot more trash being on the foreground.
No likes on X means that the spammers, racists, stalker will essentially be at the same level of visibility than any other user.
I'm sure that will go just fine...
I think that last part is the goal
This was meant to be a joke
Reports aren't anonymous in lemmy. Stupidest solution ever.
