> Make it an option to hide your shameful guilty shit you don't want people to see! De-network if you must, if you are scared Why does it have to be about being "scared"? In my mind a like is between me and the person who posted. Why does every little interaction have to be broadcast as far as possible? And I agree the threshold for re-sharing is high. That's why turning likes into a soft re-share is annoying. I didn't want that shard. I don't really care if my likes are hidden. I don't care if people can look at the likes on a post and find my account But I don't want it broadcast either. If I wanted it broadcast I would use the "I want to broadcast this" button > I want to share what I like but I'm not trying to flood the zone But that's what it is doing by turning your likes into a reshare. Every like you make becomes part of the flood. Only you get to feel like you aren't doing it on purpose I found it incredibly annoying when I would see more "someone liked this post" than actual new stuff If my feed moves slower because I'm only seeing new posts and deliberate reshares then that is a good thing imo. I don't need the system to dig up infinite content for me by farming everyone's likes and other interactions

> But that's what it is doing by turning your likes into a reshare. Every like you make becomes part of the flood. NACK. They're not. Likes are just likes, they're a lower indicator. Reshares are a much stronger endorsement, are intended for rebroadcast, as it says that on the tin. Trying to conflate the two to argue that we should stop making likes available is misdirection & dishonest construction. NACK. It's obnoxious arguing with people obsessed with themselves. Your welcome to your own opinions & how you want to social, strongly though I disagree with them and find them sad and scared and bad for humanity. But imposing your limited low-information view on others & denying those who would allow this aspect of our socialness, because you claim it doesn't suit you, is egocentric & poor policymaking.
