@Brightdave @atomicpoet I think it’s even more important for people with a lower follower count. A boost or reply might not always make sense but a like will still show that someone, well, liked their post. It’s not for the algorithm it’s for the user.

@jph @atomicpoet that's such a great point! I know likes, etc are not important in the grand scheme of things, but it does mean something when others like something I post. Means I've said or shared something others agree with or appreciate. Usually I get few to no "likes" and that's fine, but when I do get some it means I'm not just typing into a vast, vacuous void.
