    This is a problem. I also use "likes" as bookmarks. Why does twitter keep making things bad.https://twitter.com/DLind/status/955291626624225280 …

    For years, I’ve used Twitter favs (now “likes”) for bookmarking. Now that The Algorithm promotes tweets I like into followers’ feeds, I’m getting “why did you like this?” queries from ppl who disagree with the tweet. Thanks, Twitter, for yet another step toward unusability.

        This REALLY annoys me. What is the difference between a like and a retween now that likes are basically retweets? Stupid.

        @Twitter a private bookmark feature with accompanying button would be a nice thing. Maybe you should like, work on this.

        It would also be nice if there was a way to search your own likes, so you could find things bookmarked
