I’ve been sorta ambivalent about likes, but now I view them as more meaningful and maybe more productive in terms of relationship building on the forum. If member A sees member B like his/her post, perhaps that starts a conversation and even a friendship. |
This is unironically very true. I have a habit of assuming that people i might have disagreed with in the past (a.k.a. 99% of the forum) are judgmental, hold a grudge or dislike me. No particular reason for that really and I don't think it's true but that's definitely how it feels. It seems like a lot of people that I would have assumed that about like my posts, though.
I guess that's kind of a superficial way of looking at it and it's probably a wrongful form of validation, but it's a start
