There is something incredibly freeing about being able to like a post on Pixelfed without fear of screwing up your algorithm. I find myself just liking cool photos way more frequently now.
@veedems Yes, I stopped liking anything on YouTube years ago because of this
@derekmceachern I haven’t tried PeerTube myself, but it might be worth checking out.
@veedems I haven't really explored peer tube either.
@veedems to freedom and choice and a right to our voice(s)!
@veedems so true. I am a 'like' machine on pixelfed 
@tansy that’s great! A bunch of people are probably posting for the first time there and those moments of recognition are going to be huge for them
@veedems
yeah, i want the new folk to stick around. hence i am also a 'post sharing' machine over there.
@veedems this applies to all of the fediverse tbh
