First sorry but I'm writing this answer from my phone and I have a feeling is going to be a long answer and I know it will be difficult to go beck and review it before posting it so: sorry for my english :D
I'm sorry if this is what you get from my not liking this feature...
I don't plan to restrict or force anyone to do what I want them to do... I'm not wired that way! I just think LJ is not the place for it! I had this reaction even when Instagram got its "new" feature and it became a sort of snapchat. I think all the socials wants to have the same features in order to be more popular, when it's their difference that makes them better and unique! This is my opinion and I'm not forcing it into anyone's head!
I don't think it's useful to have a "like option" in a place where we share personal stories that cover more than one topic per post In the same post we might talk about TV shows, something personal and a book we're reading, and I don't see what't the meaning of a "heart" to something like that.
I'm not forcing people into commenting, I never did and I never will. I'm sorry if you think I'm someone like that for some reason... And I'm not the kind of person who unfriend people who don't comment, or unfollow people on other socials for the same reason... I'm not here to be popular and I don't comment other people entries to get a comment back...
I leave a nice comment to basically every post I read (if I have something to say) You post very cool pictures and I think it's nice to leave a comment saying I liked the picture or that it's funny... I do that everywhere. I comment on photos on facebook instead of just like the album without watching it... Because I know that the person who uploaded it put some time into it, and I think t's great to share something that means something to us... And I couldn't care less to receive something in return! I like to write a quick nice comment to your pics but I have no agenda, and please don't feel forced to comment on my posts because I comment on yours... I added you on a friending meme because I was coming back to LJ after a long time, and I came back with a different vision and I wanted to find people with whom I could share some interests...
Here all I did was expressing an opinion on a feature. I respect your opinion and I understand what you are saying... I'm extremely on your side on the quality over quantity... But to me, this feature doesn't belong here! To me means something different.
no subject
