Unfortunately inevitable... (LJ's "Like" button)

[thistlechaser]

So LJ now has a "Like" button. News post here.

I can't see it on my friends page or my main page. I'm still on S1 I think, so maybe that's why. Is anyone else seeing them?

Can't say I like this change at all, though I'm not surprised it happened...

Can't say that I care for it either. Not a "feature" that I expect I'll use. I just hope all the comments in my journal don't turn to likes...

I liked your post. Can you see that?

It's not showing up for me either (and I'm on S1 style, friendspage and comment pages).

I am apprehensive about the addition of "Like", although I have also wished for this capability on LJ sometimes, because it does happen that I see posts that I want to acknowledge but without really knowing what to say. It's such a slippery slope, though!

I don't see it, but maybe that's because I'm on my phone.

I enjoy LJ because people actually leave comments, instead of just clicking "like." I hope people will still leave comments!

Oh, is that the heart at the bottom of the page? I just read something in the browser but I'm usually on my app (but app was being crappy about loading pictures, hence the browser) and at first I thought it was part of the entry. I don't think I've noticed it before. I don't think I'm a fan. I like that it's comment or nothing (basically). Liking is "too easy" I feel. I don't know.

I am SO amused by the negative backlash. Aaaah, LJ users never change, do they 8D

I can't see it either -- but I did get a notification that someone had "liked" a post of mine. I, too, have the "old" view on my journal.
