Well, that's how I picture it anyway. So I read a Facebook post, I click like. That just tells me that I've read it and then I move on. It's sort of instinctual. If I think something more of it, like it's funny,sad or whatever, I'll click one of those instead. But for me the "like" doesn't mean anything more than acknowledgement. Does mean approval. Doesn't mean disapproval. Well to some people it does, apparently. This morning I got called out for liking something that the other person disapproved of. Do people really have enough time in the day to watch who is clicking like on what? Good grief. Vultures.

It also lets it go so you don't continually get it back in your to-dos.

Exactly. They pop up over and over if I don't.

That happened to me. Someone called me out and said I wasn't a part of my culture because of something I liked on FB. I guess anything can pop up on anyone's newsfeed, so I don't even "like" or "comment" anymore - none of anyone's business. But these folks with too much time on their hands make it their business .

@dawnald Right. A "like" can't/shouldn't really be interpreted . . . some people need to get a life!!

Haven't run into that myself, but didn't there use to be a dislike option on various sites and maybe they got confused?

I know some places have upvotes and down votes, but Facebook never did.
