Liking your own post?

Why is it possible to like your own post?

Berlyn

It's possible to like your own post on Facebook too.
Some of us have really huge egos and need those extra likes. 🙂

Toby

Yep. There's no good reason to prevent it, IMO.

I love myself hehehe gotto show some love to my own posts too... Nah fo real no need to remove it. I like that users have options and everything is not fenced around em.

I really really love my own posts that I write. Each of them are very nice.

Do not try and like your own post. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. There is no like and dislike online. Then you'll see it's not your own liking that likes the post but a program.

thecodingwizard

All right. ;-) Liking your own post it is!

Berlyn

The only thing regarding the current Like extension I can suggest is that currently it only shows the 3 most recent likes. It should act similar to Facebook where it shows "4 people like this" and when you click on it, a modal pops up with a list of people who have liked it. Nothing major and not really a priority, more just an aesthetic thing.

Toby

Berlyn Already the case – see this post's likes as an example. The modal still needs some aesthetic work though 😛

Berlyn

Toby Perfect, pretty much exactly what I had in my mind.

Franz

Should this be a modal? Or just a small box that shows while hovering?

Berlyn

Franz I think modal is the best solution. I can't imagine a standard hover appearing well on a post with 100+ likes (popular thread) or on mobile devices.

it doesn't matter

Honestly I have to like my own stuff only when nobody else likes it to make myself feel better in the I'm too good for you guys anyways sort of sense.

NeoTiger13

Cheun But can you backflip?

Cheun

NeoTiger13 As a matter of fact I can. A very proactive child growing up, sports year round. Including Boxing, Taekwondo, Karate, and Wrestling (martial arts wise). Everything else was just typical American Football, basketball, baseball, track and field, cross country..

Was doing 2 sports in one season.

In highschool I was into just Track and Soccer those were my things. As far as martial arts, I always thought that a bullet can travel faster then any punch. With that, pulling a gun out of its holster and shooting someone would be just slightly longer then winding up and throwing a punch.

But definitely as I always say, to each their own!

Oh trust me I'm one trigger happy bastard if I do say so myself.

thecodingwizard 'coz they're to lazy to code it otherwise Imgur

I say it's pointless, but developers don't listen.
