is that people seem to be posting more about the stuff that makes them happy, over stuff that'll land them a job
sure enough there'll be room for the latter, but it's nice to have a cozy space to escape from the ever crushing horrors of modern life
edit: also the lack of comment favs seems to discourage reply-guys, that, or they're all on the fediverse. womp womp
i do miss being able to fav a reply to mean "nice", but now i just reply "nice". it's pretty good actually
Yeah, it feels frivolous (non-derogatory) and fun in the way early(-ish) Twitter did. In addition to comments not having likes being helpful to the community health, I think not exposing posts' like-count as a public metric is going to be a long-term good for the service.
yep
one of the things that i worry about is "likes on comments" turning into drive by debates
sure enough i like it when someone goes "nice" on a reply of mine, but i don't really care about the audience reaction
not to dump a feature suggest opinion on you but i feel this would be more discoverable if there was a faster way to reply "yeah" from a comment
i see it as a natural extension of the quick share button, the quick reply button
edit: i mean you could put a yeah button to the right of "replying to @x"
i am so glad people generally do not post about the ever crushing horrors of modern life here
