Ghost in their weekly update, joking about likes:

Descartes famously said “I think, therefore I am” — but it wasn’t until several years later when we started getting likes on Instagram that we collectively came to the realization that the meaning of life, in fact, revolves around a consistent stream of dopamine hits from the internet.

Micro.blog doesn’t have likes and for better or worse, I’m standing by that decision.

@manton I’ll be the one to represent the opposite opinion: I think private likes (visible to only the author) would help people receive encouragement to stick with this “shouting into the void” hobby.
