User setting to toggle "like" visibility on posts #4605

Open jetpacktuxedo opened 4 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes thinking about people liking your posts and worrying about counts can be stressful.

Describe the solution you'd like

A toggle somewhere in the settings menu to hide likes. When like visibility is disabled it should hide the counter next to the like button (at a minimum on the user's own posts, but alternatively hiding it on all posts would work too, maybe a sub-option?) as well as preventing notifications about likes.

Describe alternatives you've considered

One could simply log off I suppose

Additional context

Very janky mockup I made in my phone:

This is a good idea to have as an option. It could also be extended perhaps to include repost and follower numbers as well (maybe with a configurable option), like the third-party Skeets app does as part of one of its 'digital health' settings:

Although afaik Skeets doesn't hide notifications about likes.

Seconding this, I think Skeet's approach is pretty good, similar to Cohost which I loved. Being able to get notifications, but the only number you can see is of comments.

I don't have an apple device so I'd love for it to be integrated into the main app (if anyone know another third party app on android that does it please lmk)
