Thank vs. Like

Metric Tensor

These words mean two different things to me:

I can thank a well made post that I totally disagree with because I appreciate the time and effort put into the post and the quality of the argument even if I think the poster is wrong.

I cannot use "like" in the same way because I feel it gives an indication of agreement - much like the way Reddit upvotes/downvotes can make it into an echo chamber.

I don't know how much customisation boards are allowed do to the vanilla software but I'd suggest it as a change worth implementing.

Far as I know the "Like" is only temporary and it will be changed to "Thanks"

That's my understanding too.

That's right, we will revert to Thanks as we had before asap.

Can you also revert to being able to see all people who have liked the post? Currently seems to be limited to 10 (possibly the most recent 10). Users in the list are clickable sometimes, but not all the time (using Safari, Mac OS).

On iOS you can't see who has 'liked', just the number of likes.

Can we get an update on this please?

Surely it isn't hard to change the word? Thanks

by the same token, what difference does it make, really? what if I see a post that I like, but don't want to 'thank' the user...

Its minor in the grand scheme of things - but the GDPR, privacy of emails and private messages showing up would likely be a priority for them at the moment - as well as many other bugs. Its say its on the never ending list now.
