    I have to give credit where it’s due, I actually like this change. Likes used to be private, and then they became public and subject to the toxic performativity of social media

      Yeah, I don’t know what they were thinking when Twitter decided to make likes public by default and even go so far as to show your likes on your followers’ feeds. Seemed creepy and parasocial and is one of the factors that drove me away from Twitter, so this is a good change.
