I think that’s a Hermitcraft reference, and I did not expect to see that on Lemmy of all places.
If you look up Hermitcraft S6 rap battle I think there’s a segment where Xisumavoid (sometimes called X) raps that
Edit: Jesus Christ this is embarrassing
I’m not a big Twitter user to begin with, so I assumed based on the title that it was going to be similar to YouTube disabling the dislike counter.
This is making the list of posts you’ve “Liked” private. Saved you a click.
Personally I’d like this to be a toggleable feature like Reddit has (had?), but otherwise, yeah seems like an obtuse change, I don’t understand the why behind it.
It’s because Elon keeps getting caught out liking and boosting blatant white supremacist stuff. Who knows why. He really doesn’t seem to mind everyone knowing the fact that he’s a neo-Nazi.
The reason is probably that too many people got caught liking questionable content through the likes page.
It also makes it nearly impossible for independent researchers to uncover bot networks and AstroTurfing, just in time for fully automated AI propaganda.
People might not want to make it obvious that they support Nazi shit. This will make it easier for them to do so covertly.
My guess is that its to cover up patterns of this to protect specific rich guys from lawsuits. As a bonus it means its easier to add and subtract likes from posts without leaving clear evidence.
So Elon himself can add 10,000 likes to an antisemitic post or subtract the likes from say somebody making fun of a cybertruck.
