i remember having the public/private likes convo with @dwr.eth when warpcast was rolling out the “likes” tab on the profile. he said it was a discovery tool. i said it was a cancellation tool. we all know how every debate with @dwr.eth ends. interesting X will now move them private. thoughts?

my only thought this is this bozo is going to artificially boost engagement numbers to try to extract more money from advertisers since no one will be able to verify the stats anymore

imo it’s well worth keeping them public discovery via likes is super powerful likes are “public” regardless, someone can go look at the likers of a specific cast and see them, any client can use it, etc..

exactly... I think naval or someone said you can learn way more about someone on twitter by what they like as opposed to what they post ppl probably liking a lot of conservative stuff and getting canceled

Likes are one of my favorite discovery tools. They can be helpful with understanding somebodies identity but they represent a small piece of the whole Follows are my other favorite discovery tools. Elon also rolled that back, can only see last 20 or so follows on X.

Pondering this ourselves. Definitely a double-edged sword as it can inspire the wrong kind of behavior but also has a potentially valuable signal when navigating a sea of content. We're talking about this tomorrow on our new Space and how it impacts brands.

my likes tab tbh says little about what I like, i like things deliberately to tell the algo what to give me more of this includes things/ppl i disagree with cuz i want to curate my feed to have a certain diversity/range this may not be the case for everyone but canceling is not possible due to plausible deniability

such a bummer used it a lot for discovery. at some point was my highest source of alpha for new accounts/projects, links between certain personalities, and funny memes

RE: discovery v cancellation - it's both. The "like" button (ironically a heart) is outdated. The emoji style reactions on LinkedIn are more useful (and I feel horrifically dirty saying that). An auto-generated measure, tethered to replies (i.e., replier clout, keywords, and sentiment) would be interesting.

i think it makes sense to have open data for the wider health of the FC ecosystem. as far as being canceled goes— let the youth decide

I don't see the difference between likes and bookmarks if they are both private

If you outlaw likes, then only outlaws will have likes. …what I mean to say is, the whole point of FC is having shared, public data to build on. If it’s closed then it’s the same as the social we have already. If that’s the case, what’s the point?

i think it’s a mistake for twitter. i use ‘likes’ to discover what people like. discovered so many hidden gems this way.

@jtgi
It’s great. I’ve avoided liking many things on x over the years to not be profiled or looked back on years later without context. Same for follows. X will still know, but better than everyone.

the question is — which is more likely and in higher volume, discovery or cancellation? for X however, this feels more elon-centered feature requests

bad move — likes help you stay away from echo chambers, leave you with better discoverability which otherwise you have missed out on hiding likes will force people to post more — content will become repetitive while showing likes was low effort, engagement-driven hook

There is an argument for both sides. I'll give you a 3rd scenario I've been on private mode since they rolled it out a year ago (?) because i treat it as a bookmark, and it's hidden because they're random and I don't want people to think my account was compromised.

Memba the drama like visibility caused on IG? 😂 I think in the content/broadcast based social context - like visibility is good If its meant to be more intimate than probably not In the context of FC - private anything feels like a moot point, nothing here can be private (public data)
