y'know what would be helpful for me on social media? Some kind of constant indication whether or not someone follows you or how much they engage with you. Like maybe it'd give me way more anxiety in other ways but like, right now at least it'd be nice to get *some kind of picture* of how people see me, like if someone just favourites all my replies to them I can presume I'm just annoying them, while if someone boosts my posts a lot they probably like what I say.
@Fenreliania maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you view liking replies as meaning the person doesn't like you?
@lizardsquid If I'm replying to someone a lot and all they do is hit like, and there's no other engagement there, especially if there's some telling replies they don't like, then yeah I think they're being courteous.
@Fenreliania ah, ok!
(thanks for the clarification – I usually favourite the last reply that someone sends me when I can't think of anything to say in response, but want them to know I've read it)
@lizardsquid Yeah same, and like, I courtesy like some things but I also definitely just don't know how to respond to some people and there's no real way to distinguish what's what from the outside. But also like, if anyone's *annoying* me as opposed to just someone I don't want/know how to engage, then I'll make it at least relatively clear.
