many people feel discouraged from liking content that might be ‘edgy’
The “edgy” content:
So this will stop fascists who like fascists shit from facing the slightest repercussion to their public image, but I assume the back end will still be open for scraping by feds who want to compile lists of dissidents.
The integrity of the game falls apart when you can’t see the votes. People need to be able to verify that votes are real or sus or else it stops feeling fair.
The entire point of gameification is that people don’t feel the game is rigged. Democratisation of posting needs to be verifiable to end users or else they’ll just slowly gravitate to platforms they feel like they trust more.
Soon they’ll get rid of likes all together because “People don’t like edgy comments, which makes it appear like people hate edgy comments, so to encourage edgy comments we are removing usernames, likes, and retweets.”
Basically just a chan board with a better DM system.
Remove the tweets as well and they might have done something good
tbh this should have always been a feature imo, but its so funny that they’re only adding it now to stop nazis from accidentally outing themselves to the public
and the twitter-to-4chan transformation continues apace
This was a “feature” they added with the premium subscription, seems like an odd move to give it to the plebs
interesting to watch social media become increasingly less social
Gotta remove any ambiguity to make it clear it’s just a Nazi pipeline
Sounds like Elon is upset about getting called out for liking Nazi content.

Just like Reddit! Wowweee
And now you can’t trace where likes came from, and “power” users, like Elon, could give any number of likes they want without anyone knowing.
also makes it super easy to use bots to promote posts via likes because nobody can look at where the likes come from
