it is very funny that every single change on twitter in the last two years has been done only to benefit the ever expanding group of insane perverted bigots

This ruins the point of likes.
When I hit the button, I'm telling all of you that I liked this. If it's private, then I only liked it for me.
We have bookmarks for that. https://t.co/vw5j7LQSNC

Why don't I get to choose whether to make my "likes" private?

Why you should stop “liking” posts on Twitter…
3. Boring
2. Weak
1. They’re now invisibleWhy you should start replying with “this pleases me” instead…
3. Enigmatic
2. Suggests people should curry your favour
1. It’s what Alan Rickman would’ve done— Adam Sharp (@AdamCSharp) June 12, 2024

How silly.
Also does this mean I can start liking my own tweets without anyone ever knowing, like an insecure teenager? pic.twitter.com/vLndZVqe8R

I didn't think it was possible, but the latest "improvement" to Twitter shows that @elonmusk is even stupider than I thought.

Another terrible idea by despot Elon Musk. Second only to his ban on cjis . I’ll be writing ‘Like’ with a #BringBackLikes

‘So Elon, I hear you’ve got a funny story about why you want likes to be private. Tell us all about it.’ pic.twitter.com/RdVOj2ZXsU

Twitter/X has the opportunity to do the funniest thing – to a lot of Trump fans, mostly.
I hope this is an elaborate trap and in about a month’s time we get to see what people were liking when they thought it was secret. pic.twitter.com/W4gyaFUoPL
