I need your feedback

As some of you may have noticed, I'm building a new fediverse / social media platform — #fedibook. The goal is a familiar look and feel, but one that's actually better for your mental health.

I accidentally included likes in the UI without really thinking it through. Not finished or properly tested — and honestly, I'm now wondering whether likes should exist at all.

What I'm considering instead: likes as a private bookmark only. More like a personal favourite — something you save for yourself to find later, but which is never shared with the author or the rest of the #fediverse.

Good idea? And what should they be called? Vote or comments - Thanks.

You are also invited to just the dev server at https://dev1.fedibook.dk follow the development process at first hand.

“I won’t be on Bluesky, but my book will.”

“I have to find readers and reviewers. There are readers and reviewers on Bluesky.”

“Since I’m using my book promotion as an example of my marketing skills, it needs to be where industry people are.”

This is how I’m coping with something I really don’t want to do. So, tell me, will I be wrong for posting my book promotion over there?

EDIT: For that 2nd option, maybe think “It’s not ethical.” There’s bias in how I wrote it.
