Just saw this. I don't really use it so probably old news

 

[Halo is Back]

Honestly, this might be for the better because there are a lot of crazy people out there who will harass/stalk you and try to get you fired for liking "controversial" tweets.

That's great, now I'll never have to wipe my account in embarrassment.

But who are the fucknuts over at Ree gonna go after when some random likes a JK Rowling tweet from 15yrs ago?

I think better solution would be keeping it visible by default but letting people hide it if they want. But this is still better then them being public and unhideable, given how many sociopaths and psychopathic stalkers are online.

...actually, if they were hidden only by choice, then those who would hide them would be judged and harassed (in some countries even by ruling regimes) so maybe that would not be ideal either

You could already hide your likes tab if you subscribed to premium before.

Loads of popular accounts like things as a way to share content with the other loads of people who check out what accounts are liking… so good luck with those engagement numbers after this.

[AJUMP23]

Gaf is next.

Private Likes are watching you.

 

[DKehoe]

Whats now the difference between a like and a bookmark? Is it just about shaping your for you feed?

 

[Lunarorbit]

This was so funny. Just be a normal man and say, yes I think Corey chase is hot.

But can't admit to flogging the porpoise or everyone will think you're a sinner

Ted Cruz blames staffer for 'liking' porn tweet

"There are a number of people on the team who have access on the account," he says.

I will miss shit like this

 

[Toons]

This is probably *exactly* how ot played out lmfao

 

[PSYGN]

Nice. Then a year or two from now he can return likes and everyone can see everyone's likes!

 

[EverydayBeast]

No question likes should be private, retweets are perfect for signaling to your followers. Since Elon took over he has been in complete command of X.

 

[ZehDon]

Nice. Then a year or two from now he can return likes and everyone can see everyone's likes!

You mean you'll be able to pay to see people's likes, surely?

 

[Griffon]

Good move. Personal likes should never have been public to begin with, it was only useful to the cancel mob and stalkers.

Surprise! That's all who are complaining!

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

I wanked to her a couple of times

 

[Spukc]

Hahaha pretty fucking schweeet

 

[SJRB]

Based Elon.

My like list is filled with the most insanely racist and misogynistic memes available outside the darkweb, can’t have that reflecting poorly on me.

Can't they just retweet that instead?

 

[ShadowNate]

A good change way overdue.

Twitter was never intended for the kind of scrutiny and stalking of likes and follows that the lunatic folk abused it for.

It can't go back to the innocent years, but anything that can hinder or stop the unhinged mobs is welcome.

 

[EviLore]

Should’ve been this way from the beginning. Hundreds of instances of stalkers feeding angry mobs to harass and cancel people over their likes.

No idea if it is true or not, but I sincerely hope it is.

She's hot

It was a control mechanism under prior ownership, you see.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Re-tweets clutter your feed so people only do that when they want to really highlight something. Likes didn’t do that.

 

[SJRB]

Also helps to filter out the weirdos because you just know everyone opposed to this is a fucking psycho.

Mark Hamill will be pleased.

 

[Solarstrike]

Likes now private but the NSA, FBI, and CIA can still see everything. Riiiiiight

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Google Cory Chase

 

[chikydee]

Must be a marketing/political decision, the same as removing dislikes from youtube.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Fortunately you can still see who Liked tweets that you made.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Google Cory Chase

 

[Mr Reasonable]

A great way for Elon to make people feel more comfortable about sharing more data and that data be more precise and less guarded, imo.

How happy you are about that data being stored forever by twitter is probably one to ask yourself.

Personally, I got rid of twitter a long time ago.

 

[Kamina]

How fast a thread can turn from its original topic to a Coomer Party amazes me.

 

[22:22:22]

Google Cory Chase

I've met her per "accident" some years ago.

Not IRL. Sadly.

 

[Griffon]

Likes numbers on tweets are still visible, it's the personal Likes button press history of users that's now hidden (and thinking about, it's absolutely insane that it was visible to everyone to begin with).

 

[SJRB]

You mean irl?

Go on...

In that case I have meetings with Cory Chase on a biweekly basis.
