hi! not sure if you've ever gotten asked this, but in fandom sections of tumblr there's a term called "spam likes" where a single person goes through all your post history and enthusiastically likes Every Individual Post You've Made.
because of the way notifications are grouped up, a hundred likes from different people on the same post might get lumped into one notification, which is beautiful and simple and easy to read,
but, if one singular person likes a LOT of your posts, it can blow up your whole activity feed, since each will register as an individual notificationâa lot of times, people who like posts like this will get blocked for being "annoying" and making it so that the blog owner can't see their friends interacting in their feed.
as somebody mildly annoyed when this happens to my blog, but who doesn't block people for doing that, i want to know:
could it ever be possible to create a notification for, say, a single individual liking more than 10 of your posts in, idk, a day or something? i think it would both clean up the activity feed for a lot of people, and would give a new funny metric for something like. idk, "@yourbestestfriend liked 437 of your posts" i think notifs like that would be funny instead of frustrating.
Thanks for your question. We love this idea! Itâs a great suggestion, so we will look into it and see whatâs possible. It could make a good candidate for the next Hack Dayâweâll keep you posted.
If we have updates, youâll find them here at @wip or at @changes. Stayed tuned, and keep your suggestions coming.
