Elon Musk's X is officially making likes private

Another change no one asked for.

X, formerly Twitter, will officially start hiding public "likes" on posts, as soon as today.

The news comes from a source at the company, as reported by the Verge. A few weeks ago, reports emerged that the change (that no one asked for) would be implemented soon.

X's director of engineering Haofei Wang confirmed the news on X back then, saying in a post, "Public likes are incentivizing the wrong behavior. For example, many people feel discouraged from liking content that might be 'edgy' in fear of retaliation from trolls, or to protect their public image."

"Soon you’ll be able to like without worrying who might see it," wrote Wang.

Elon Musk, X's owner for the past two years, shared the news on his platform today too, writing, "Important to allow people to like posts without getting attacked for doing so!"

In place of public likes, private likes will be an option, which is already available to X's Premium subscribers. For the rest, the number of likes on a post will still be visible and users will also still be able to see who has liked their posts.

  3. For the man who is the self declared champion of free speech, seems a bit counter to snuff out are ability to communicate our speech.. bye bye ..

    1. likes. What are you talking about free speech.
      Because people can’t see how many likes you have. So it’s not about speech but attention then.

      Delete
    2. It took away our ability for a quick response that others could see. You could before and now you can't. it diminished our ability to communicate and to gage how many others were in agreement or not. For the champion of speech, that does seem to me contrary.

    3. use your words to communicate

    4. Oh wait .. sorry i used a like to communicate. Hence proving my point I might add.

    1. Perhaps it should be a personal choice to not need to be liked, but it couldn't hurt to encourage a healthy bit of skepticism of group think. It could potentially be a good thing, but the data won't go unused or unseen by the AI...

  5. That tab ended people's relationships lolol js

    But yea, an option or setting to keep it would be aight tho.

    1. 368 million worldwide. But sure, go ahead and pretend that's nothing.

      Delete
    2. as if a number by itself means anything. How's the revenue been since Musky took over? How about the overall value of the company? You do know it's valued under $20 Billion; less than 1/2 what your boy genius paid for it. Plus, you know all the Nazis and white supremicists he let back on the platform. Now making likes private when NOBODY was asking for that feature. Musk is a horrible business leader and should be repeatedly mocked. Also try doing a smidge of research before posting.

    3. We weren't talking about the value of the company or who posts on there. Try and stay on topic and not let your obvious emotional bias interrupt an otherwise emotionless debate.

      The 368 million number I posted is valid. How many of those are duplicates are unknown. The point being, you attempting to pass off the platform as having 'few users' is entirely disingenuous.

    3. When you're bigoted, it's not just about race. You don't like Harley's, you're a Harley Bigot. You don't like Squid's, you a Rice Rocket Bigot. You think Trump was the worst and his supporters mind numbed robots? Well, they used to say that about us when we listened to Rush. You think Alex Jones is a terrible person? They used to call us Art Bell Listeners all kinds of Whack Jobs too, though the same people used to think Rogan was cool. If you think people that post on Twitter (X) are Bigots and like most of the people who hate the platform now that Free Speech, which the ACLU used to defend (they defended the Klan) is now any speech that the former Twitter said wasn't ok but under free speech, you CAN say? Then you're Biggoted against anything you don't agree with regardless of proof. Had to put up with that crap during Covid. I was on a derivitive of Hydroxychloriquine for another symptom. Blocks the same paths. Like all the people with Lupus who have and will spend the rest of their life taking this drug, people around me "Got Covid" while I and those Lupus patients, did not. That was brought up early on and squashed as taking Fish Tank cleaner much like the Horse Dewormer Rogan took when he got Covid. Got strikes for saying hey what about that Hydroxychloriquine. I mean WHY would they want you to take a 5 cent a pill drug when they had this wonderful new, ready to go almost before the outbreak, NOW not recognized as a vaccine vaccine? I'm PERSONALLY bigoted against any golfer that is using one of those ridiculously sized drivers. I've never needed it and I was outdriving anyone I was playing with except my brother, before I gave up the game. (when you work at a golf course, it's all you can eat. When you don't, Dang if that isn't expensive. I miss it, but I have grand kids and a garden and 2 acres of yard I mow and tend the flower beds on and chickens, etc etc. Time for golf? Not right now. I've an account on X but I barely read it. People do post raw information on it but its a firehose and I've only got time for tap water. The GOOD part of it is you can finally have a conservative opinion and not be blocked by some green haired freak with gages in their nose who don't think you're good for America, not the America they want. There's Plenty that Zuck blocks here with his own green haired freaks. Which I'm not bigoted against green hair mind you. It's just that these vibrant koolaide colors have been chosen by people of a certain mindset to display they're allegiances. Shouldn't judge a book by its cover, true. As humans though, we design our own covers many of the times.

He protects all the villains, the sexual deviants, the lovers of despots, the communists and the fascists, everyone we should all be aware of, but won’t be, because Elon prioritizes their right to exist in peace. He is truly one corrupt version of a human! Who knows, maybe isn’t. You can be human and not have humanity.

  89. Another one, who thinks that he's the godfather of all, who can survive and rule the world. I don't blame him for tweaking the platform (which he did not built), but he can f*ckit up nicely. We've seen many social platforms fall from the skies before.

  91. The problem is idiots who search through decades of people's profile activity to try and cancel them. Not X.

    2. Keep hiding Dude. It means something. Try to claim it doesn’t all you want. The adults in the room know better.

  92. Instagram have had this for a couple years now. He has a point. People can get cancelled for merely liking a tweet. So perhaps if you hide the likes people won’t get cancelled.

  93. People still using X? Why?

  94. Sort of defeats the purpose of social media, lol

  99. & I thought Facebook was bad

  100. It's Social Media. Being public is exactly the point. X is now a different kind of platform. It's Private Media. A safe space for people too afraid to publicly expose their beliefs.

    1. maybe you can take his you-know-what out of your mouth for a moment and think for yourself?

  101. So, it's ok him to say whatever he wants without consequences, but he got scared if liking something he knows it's not right...better hide it

    ReplyDelete
  102. Just stop using X

    1. what is funny to me is, after being mystery banned on TwitX for a few years...no idea, spamming? Wut? After the mass exodus from there, they reinstated me. I have not used it since. All I ever did was like things. It means nothing to me now. Facebook and Instagram are both headed into the toilet in the same but different ways. Carry on.

    2. the only reason I haven’t deleted my account is that I’ve been there so long it is my name and I don’t want it to become available.

  103. Excellent - I'm all in for net neutrality. What I like and what I don't like is nobody's business but my own. If I want harassment I can just come here to FB, where unless one subscribes to groupthink one can expect to be bullied relentlessly. Pfft.

    1. No one is paying attention to what you like. One issue is that large accounts with influence can now skew the algorithm in their favor by purchasing likes and there’s no way to verify they are coming from legit accounts. This matters to advertisers.

      Delete
  104. Well just repost with the quote “Like”

    ReplyDelete
  105. I actually love that.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Time to abandon the platform - say bye bye.

  107. is this because of the bombshell WSJ report?

  108. X os becoming part of the dark web.

  109. No one likes Elon.
    So no one gets likes.

  113. Why would anyone want to be on that site now?

    ReplyDelete
  114. What will the X special wannabes do when no one knows they got likes.....

    ReplyDelete
  115. Like a stopped clock being right twice twice Musk can occassionaly make a smart move. Likes are either abused or obsessed over. I hope Facebook follows suit.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Can we make Elon private?

    ReplyDelete
  117. Great idea! ❌ has gotten so much better since Elon took it over.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Elon is going stack “like” metrics with fake likes in order to make the suckers who pay to be there think they are getting their money’s worth. Vanity manipulation at its most predatory

    ReplyDelete
  119. Safe space moves huh? Weird

    ReplyDelete
  120. Because Musk’s sycophants need anonymity and a safe space? I guess Musk’s followers don’t want to stand behind their convictions?

    *ahem*…if you’re going to say it, say it with your whole chest! Don’t say it and run away.

    ReplyDelete
  121. That would be better. People will like and follow genuinely.

    ReplyDelete
  122. People still using X? 🤣
