✍️I like how Mastodon breaks social media. A like button is the secret sauce that controls the masses. But on Mastodon, the like button is just a “send my complements to the chef.” It serves no other purpose.
Jeff Yang@pammystarr but isn’t it true that other people can see the number of likes on a post? That seems to be some kind of signal beyond 1:1 approval
@originalspin no, I don’t think anyone can see the number of likes.
Miles McNerney@originalspin @pammystarr I can see the number of likes/faves from accounts on my own server. But for instance I’m seeing only 8 on that post in your screenshot, and when I look they’re all from my server
Alex Taylor@uncle_miles @originalspin @pammystarr some apps yes and some no but it’s definitely less prominent all round.
Importantly I like that it invites a different practice. Boosting is the means of promoting and we should be boosting lots to thicken the network.
