They are still visible on the "Likes Received" page of your profile, Captain
I'm aware that there are workarounds. Likes would/are still present on the notices panel also.
However, my account is trashed to the point where I can't even rely on the fact that a page I click on will open on the first three tries . I gave up complaining about it about a decade ago. So, anything other than looking down and seeing, someone's name attributed to the like is well, a nuisance.
I will say it's nice to the that the "something went wrong, check your browser console for more information" dogma has finally been repaired. It always seemed as though the site was trying to blame your browser, for it's shortcomings. Perhaps I'm taking that too personally. Seriously, who doesn't enjoy hitting"refresh", and then being greeted with a blank white page, a few times?
As for the names of likes given being present under your post, I'm going to sidetrack for a moment and discuss interpersonal communication. (This is from an awfully tedious book an alleged friend gave me.) When two people talk, it's considered a "dyad". They can agree or disagree, but the interaction is limited to those two interactions. When the number of individuals in the conversation increase to three, the possibility of forming a conspiracy presents itself. I "saved" Scavenger from a nasty, pointless, discussion recently, by "conspiring" with him. I tend to read "through" posts, preferring instead, to evaluate what the poster's values and belief systems are before I engage. Thus the other night, I picked out a catchphrase, "did you take the jab" out of context with the subject of the thread. I'm not claiming any degree of brilliance, but I knew right off the bat, we were dealing with an anti-vax MAGAt, and called scav off knowing the individual's erroneous belief systems were effectively, set in stone. Still, if you don't dispute a concept, the other member's ego won't allow them to assume anything other than a win on their part.
All of that leads me to firmly believe that the names in full view attached to a like received, strongly adds to a sense of community, the way some stupid down or up vote button never can.
Maybe there's a compromise to be had. Post the names of both the down voters and those who liked the post. Not that I imagine that could or would be accomplished in less than another decade. And well, I'm not as young as I used to be.
Speaking of moderation, I haven;t seen any evidence of Mailpup's presence recently. IIRC we got along pretty well, even when I was being chastised for "bad behavior".
I hope he's well. I hope he's still with us. If both statuses are true, bully. OTOH, maybe he just simply got fed up with babysitting this collection of miscreants for free, Anyway, I kinda miss him.
Cheers...!
