I'm not a big Twitter user to begin with, so I assumed based on the title that it was going to be similar to YouTube disabling the dislike counter.

This is making the list of posts you've "Liked" private. Saved you a click.

Personally I'd like this to be a toggleable feature like Reddit has (had?), but otherwise, yeah seems like an obtuse change, I don't understand the why behind it.

The reason is probably that too many people got caught liking questionable content through the likes page.

Likes and the like should be public, then there's no tampering and people who like the insane shit can't hide that fact. Dunno why people are still using that platform regardless.

I think that’s a Hermitcraft reference, and I did not expect to see that on Lemmy of all places.

If you look up Hermitcraft S6 rap battle I think there’s a segment where Xisumavoid (sometimes called X) raps that

Edit: Jesus Christ this is embarrassing
