Soon, everyone a user likes on X will be hidden by default.
You must log in or register to comment.
the upcoming change is meant to protect users’ public image — because “many people feel discouraged” to like “edgy” content
“edgy” is the word you’re going with, huh?
right, because loving Hitler and being super-into fascism and genocide is just considered “edgy” nowadays…

It’s just another Tuesday for MAGAts.
for fans of the electoral college! Nice! Modern! Exciting!
Trying to make shitty opinions appear to be more prominent than they are is exactly the sad type of gymnastics I expect from these types
great comedy, awful reality
Pesky votes getting in the way of spreading an ideology.
Aahhh just the likes? not the entire X(itter)?
I mean now that you can’t see shit without being logged in, they already sort of did that for a lot of people.
Whyy?? I don’t even use Twitter/X but someone make that make sense.
People want to be Nazis without other people knowing they’re Nazis.
I would argue it’s not that much of a secret if they’re on Twitter but it’l be more difficult (not as hard as if it were encrypted, unless it *is encrypted but I wouldn’t know if it was) for law enforcement and advocates to know specifically what people are following. Twitter however essentially allows that content and governments and advocates had been vocal about that fact so the fact people are following certain accounts such as what you named isn’t secret, it’s just… which ones are they following?
My theory is that it gives Elmo a way to promote authoritarian and anti-LGBT tweets without making it obvious that the algorithm is politically based to align with the platform owner’s views.
Suddenly “the court of public opinion” isn’t a good thing anymore, it seems.
What, who the fuck even uses that thing, who gives a shit?
My 8 year old niece texted to say she is going swimming with her friends tomorrow, equally valuable information for all of you.
Now Elon can like his favorite OF creators without anybody knowing it’s him.
I’m excited for them to fuck it up and leave them vulnerable and I expect to see some very telling like changes over the couple days after they roll this out
