How do you like?

As in what goes into the decision for you to like a post.

For me is it something I feel I should hear about. It maybe something I don’t like what’s happening. But I feel I should be aware of. For instance if it’s about some stupid maga maneuvers to corrupt a system or idiot statements from maga. I just want to know what we are up against. It might be good news for a campaign or something that makes me have a sense of hope. It might just be a feel good post whether animals or music.

I’ve seen a lot of posts with a lot of comments but fewer likes. I appreciate the person who brought it to my attention and show that by liking the post. I do get moments where I think Ugh, that’s terrible and pause before liking.

Now just to add as a side note I almost wish there was a love button but that would just confuse things. It would also be a problem for my fat fingers if I don’t have my stylus pen. I inherited farmer hands. I’m in awe of my kids and grandkids who can rip through a text using their thumbs.

It means I recommend you read this thing I just read, because maybe you’ll get the same thing out of it that I did. Or maybe you’ll get more. Who knows? But really, yeah, that’s what it means to me. “Hey! Yo! This thing right here! Check it out!”

We are not recommending that the bad news is good somehow. We are recommending that it should be known.

IMO
