When you're learning Swedish as a native English speaker, "semester" is the falsest false cognate.

Fedi, I love you, but you can be exhausting.
This post was referring to a specific argument I've seen multiple times here, namely that people shouldn't like/favorite/star things because they don't raise the visibility of posts in other peoples' feeds.
I'm not interested in fighting over whether the latter is/should be called an "algorithm."
I wasn't talking about the "explore" tab.
If you haven't seen people make the argument I'm responding to: Cool, whatever. Scroll on.

Don't listen to anyone who says "likes don't matter" on here.
Yes, it's true that there's no algorithm for them to feed.
But letting people you know that you like what they're sharing, that you agree with them, that they're not just shouting into an empty abyss? That matters.
