Thumbs Ups brings the popularity-contest gaming that twitbooks do into Gemini. I don't think it belongs here.

I agree. However, consider that in the most basic case for showing threads, you can show by recency, by most recently replied/bumped and by most liked. They both have their issues still, recency creating a recency-bias where only recent topics are discussed, and bump-based creating a discussion-bias where topics that provoke a response get seen. Personally I prefer bump-based as you can moderate and prevent the issues that come from it · 3 years ago
While I do agree with this, I think it is an issue for whatever social media or even communautary sites (forum, comments, …). As long as people "exposed" themselves online, some will always have the anxiety of recognition (and FOMO)… · 3 years ago
Consider this comment a thumbs-up for @martin's response :3 · 3 years ago
While I've thumbs-up'd this log, in all honesty I'm not sure I agree. There's a risk of what you say, but it's not too different than otherwise seeking replies instead as a measure of popularity. I personally use a thumb where I have nothing interesting to add, but want to acknowledge something. I suppose everyone carries a slightly different meaning, so your mileage may vary, but that's my 2¢ · 3 years ago
Would it be wrong of me to thumbs-up this post? :) · 3 years ago
