    Fair points, but I think posters shouldn't be relying on a like count to reassure themselves (or others) that they have friends or that what they're saying is valid or popular. I think this is somewhat unhealthy. And unfortunately it's also used by many to be passive aggressive (such as people liking posts calling others cunts) hence the toxicity

    The bit about being able to find posts using it is something I didn't think of, though

    I wonder if there's a way for posters to disable it on their own accounts @Elle ?

    Anyways nbd just a thought

    Tbh I haven’t really seen people using the likes function for validation, on other sm yeah I’d totally agree but this is just lanaboards…. I don’t think anyone is taking this site that seriously :agree: As for the passive aggressiveness, it’s either silently “like” the post, or take away the likes and encourage others to respond with words as you said, which I think would cause even more drama :toofunny: it’s not like this is Instagram where likes mean “you’re attractive” etc that gives people debilitating issues, we’re just discussing Lana and related topics, it’s not personal like that.. I don’t see the likes being an issue and I “like” having the option to use it lol. But good idea, if a user is having an issue with that maybe Elle or the mods can “hide” the like feature for them individually?

    I think we should consider removing post like functionality

    Not only is it one of the more addictive and toxic features of sm but I think it stifles quality discussion because without it, people might post a reply that expands upon the post they're agreeing with, instead of just tapping like

    I really don't know what this feature is contributing to discussions as it stands

     

    Personally I like it, if I wasn’t online during a discussion it lets me still kind of interact w the convo/other users even when the subject has changed or if I don’t feel like posting a reply/expanding on it for whatever reason, it also lets you show support to your friends, or people who are going through a hard time, or lets you celebrate with others etc… Liking posts also lets me go thru all my “liked” posts in one area to find something more quickly than searching for it (cuz we all know how well that search function works :rip:). If you meant addictive/toxic as in checking who liked what post or posting for like-bait, I think that’s the individual’s problem they need to work on independently. I don’t use the like function like that so it doesn’t feel fair to take away something I find quite useful because someone else doesn’t use it responsibly. I honestly don’t want or need to formulate a whole reply to every post I like, so just “liking” it is perfect for me, I would prefer if we kept it

    This drama is unwarranted… dare I say entitled….. okay so a world famous celeb, who probably got 10k follow requests in 2 mins, didn’t see yours specifically so now you won’t be able to comment on her posts and have a one in a million chance she’ll see it and reply or like it… girl idk… this is stupid. If she wants to keep her circle small and still be sociable w her fans that’s quite understandable. I really don’t think this is as big a deal as y’all are making it out to be. Maybe YOU should take a social media break :tommy: write her physical fan mail im sure she’d appreciate that more than some 5 word insta comment

    ANGELIC :trisha: that was so beautiful!!! Much prefer the scenery and saturation to the other video, it gives the song the vibrance that it deserves. Besides the swinging reference to VG the white outfit reminded me of the 3d flower American Apparel sweater she wore in the BTD era and when she leaned leaned back on the swing the same instance from Ride flashed into my head and I’m just thinking about how perfectly encapsulating of her journey this :oprah: I love this woman

    The “suspicious” looking ones were probably done at the end of the session, after she’d already been signing for hours she was probably tired after and her hand was cramping.. if she said she signed them I would believe her otherwise she probably wouldn’t have commented at all

    Imo i think she thinks she signed all of them because they give her a bunch to sign, but other thousands were autopened or other people signed them, so of course she thinks she did

    I did always wonder about this too tho
