   I just noticed a nice symmetry between Mastodon and Threads.

   On Mastodon likes are pointless (they don’t improve a For You page or act as recommendations to followers) and on Threads reposts are pointless (they don’t show up in the Following feed nor is there a count of how often an item’s been reposted).

   I love how each Twitter replacement copies a feature from Twitter that actually is incompatible with their own view of the product.

     @carnage4life Likes affect ranking on the explore page. Besides, letting the author know that you appreciate their post is not pointless.
