Yup this writer gets it
"Privatizing Likes isn’t the worst thing Musk has done to degrade the experience on X (there’s plenty of that to go around), but it sure hasn’t made things better"
"Likes symbolized passive appreciation and, thus, were a tool to see what someone enjoyed. And to be clear, I wasn't trawling through Likes to go after someone. It was a quick guide to know if I should ignore them or engage"
Fully agree with everything said here - thankfully we can still read users TimeLines and figure out shit..... For now, anyway, wouldn't surprise me if Musk comes up with a way to stop us scrolling a users actual posts cause some thin-skinned fuckwit doesn't like being challenged on what they are saying
