You’re a deservedly popular poster, Bam.

There shud be a way to like a post insincerely

no that’s a terrible idea

You say that now but what if some of your likes are ironic and you don’t realise :hushed:

there should be a like button and a “like” button.

I’ve never ever liked anything ironically in my internet or real life.

I feel like just by raising this I’ve put many of my likes under suspicion

I’m not ready to doubt you just yet

I’ve always liked yr posts sincerely. Speaking of which are we getting any new music from the bam soon?

there’s already a new album!

Nah.
Getting a like is sometimes the only bit of happiness I get some days. Makes my heart skip a beat, so it does.

This post made me think of this ABSOLUTE BANGER.

There already is a daily limit on ‘likes’ I thought.

It’s one of the reasons why I don’t dish them out - it’s a stupid, arbitrary cap.

(the other is that I prefer to reply personally when agreeing with someone, and don’t like the way that ‘likes’ are used to end conversations passive-aggressively)

never seen them used to end a conversation passive aggressively and being nice to people isn’t stupid arbitrary crap.

The former happens quite a lot. And you’ve mis-read what I typed: ‘cap’ not ‘crap’.

ah, genuine apologies there! You’re 100% right, misread that completely :flushed:

I’ll keep an eye out for the passive-aggressiveness but I tend to read everyone here as nice and well-meaning.

Ha, no worries. The cap acts against the genuine nature of ‘likes’. When the site started and I bumped up against it, I got really anxious that people would be able to see me liking some posts, but not others, and so I decided to not really like posts anymore, and reply instead.

I think that’s me overthinking it, but it honestly caused me to stress out a little too.

I’ve seen the odd situation where someone likes every post in an entire thread but I assume they’re just doing a bit.
