i just read it, i don’t think liking/reacting really goes against it
if anything sometimes i want to acknowledge a post without replying

I agree. i've had a thought about that. What if we used empty posts as likes?

it doesn’t even have to display a like count is what i’m saying
besides any sort of metric is essentially meaningless bc this is an us only thing and not public, we’re not trying to push for engagement
i feel weird sometimes posting about something completely different and unrelated without acknowledging a post that came before me bc it feels like i’m just ignoring what was posted beforehand. and sometimes i don’t have any specific comment to make, but i want to show my appreciation of the post regardless
but at the end of the day this is just a suggestion

i really don't like likes, i want this to feel like a non-commital chill thing and encourage people to reply if they want to.
