i think more than everything else the lack of an ability to see contentful shares (you don't have to Count them if you don't want to, cohost, i know you hate Numbers) on my posts makes me not really want to use this website. i had actually already escaped the demon of Metrics on tumblr dot com when i had all my notification settings set to only show me additions to my posts and ignore notifless reblogs and likes. i don't want to see my notes because of Dark Pattern Skinner Boxes Number Go Up or whatever i want to see them because sometimes people put interesting and clever things in there that i like reading and sometimes responding to

I really want to like this platform. I like the philosophy behind it, and as far as I'm aware it's the only microblogging platform any of my friends have accounts on that isn't a twitterlike besides tumblr.
that said. there's no way "showing who has interacted with a post and how they interacted with it all in one place for the person who made the post to see" is like. ideologically incompatible with cohost's anti-metrics philosophy right. you wouldn't need to Enumerate them or even have it be something everyone has access to, just like. show all the stuff that's already in "notifications", but filtered to only the notifications that are relevant to the specific post you're looking at. maybe even use a cute name that's short for "notifications" to refer to them
