A post was recently made in the "stupid foibles" thread about how the 'like' system we have here is a bit rubbish. I wholeheartedly agreed, and thought we could have a thread to highlight how much we agree. Anyway, here is the post. Be sure to respond to it appropriately fontgeek.io/post/60900

This might be a radical suggestion but you could always just…not use it?

I like it, especially when it's a joke that misses everyone else.

Lol. I have no idea if those liking my post are in agreement or just taking the piss.

My OCD compels me to click notifications every time I get a like, just to get rid of the little number there. Still, it's nice to get a little bit of appreciation/validation now and again.

I use it quite a bit. I like it.
The old RPS forums got it when we moved to Discourse, and for a long time no-one seemed to use it much. But slowly it seemed to get used more often.
I just use it instead of filling up the thread with stuff like "me too!" or "I know what you mean" or "I like that movie too" or "lol". Where I don't really have anything to add.
The little popup notification bubble isn't something I need tho, as it does tend to make me click on it for no reason.
I also wish it was still a heart instead of a thumbs-up, because sometimes you just want to give someone a hug! *insert heart smiley here*

Yeah I think I noticed a slight difference in how rps & eg historically "liked" things. Like BillNotBen I tend to use it quite freely as a generic acknowledgment, thanks, virtual hug, actual like, or giggle - situations where a one or two word response just adds chaff to a thread, but I nevertheless want to acknowledge &appreciate another's input

Can we not make it more FG appropriate? Instead of 'MolarAm likes Danno's post' it could be 'MolarAm shows Danno his cloaked lady'.

I kind of like it, sometimes I want to acknowledge a post as something I agree with, but have nothing else to add.
I also find it validating to get likes, because I'm horribly insecure and sometimes think I might just be taking into the void.

I have no strong feelings about this. There should be a button for that too

I kind of like it. I hated the upvote/downvote of the EG comments but a like has no impact on anyone really and can't be used to be a cunt to someone. I don't use it that often mind you as I'm forgetful and not used to it.

I don't like half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

To be clear, when I voted for "leopards eating people's faces" party, I never thought that the leopards would eat *my* face.

I like the likes. It doesn't take long to click into a notification and figure out it's "just" a like rather than something you want to respond to.

Yes.
I mean no.
I mean I don't know any more. This liking is all getting a bit much.

I don’t SMASH that like button but I do use it sparingly the acknowledge that I’ve read a post and I am in mild agreement
I’d be interested to know who has given the most likes, I might align myself with their clique
