@Gargron favourites aren't really a "save for later" though, those get sent to someone

@Gargron I'm firmly in the camp of those who would like the two separated. I'd like to be able to give people affirmation by favouriting (or better, liking, because favourite is too extreme) their posts and I'd like to separately save some things to read for later.

@Gargron „save for later“ will be a nice Feature, if it‘s used to save a draft of a toot.

And nothing else.

@Gargron no

@Gargron bookmarking into folders will be awesome.

@Gargron I think that a crucial difference in implementation is that a bookmark should not be visible for anyone else. Other than that, the name suggests different functions; newcomers might not consider the possibility of using favorite to save something, because they think it is just a "rank".Not saying having both (or either) is necessary. There are plenty of solutions for bookmarking general internet links.

@Gargron bookmarks helps us, it helps us save news articles we want to read later

@Gargron Used the favourite icon to bookmark on Twitter for many years until Twitter prostituted the platform with “like”.

@GargronI think it would be a good distinction, like to like, bookmark for future reference.

Why waste space in the database? Leave it for client installed apps to handle they have plenty of space. Trending tags would be more useful.

@Gargron some of us are habituated to positively reacting to posts by favouriting them. We bookmark the stuff we want for future references.It's not redundant. Please add. 🌺

@Gargron I also use favorites as likes, we're humans, we like to show appreciation, and would be nice to have a like button and a bookmark button as separate functions.

@Gargron They're both important. We often like posts for various reasons. But having an equally easily accessible feature for bookmarks will help in bookmarking important things.

@Gargron what would be the difference though. Isnt both the same like for future reference 🤔

@Gargron I use the favourite button as 1. a form of "I like your toot"2. acknowledge that I have read the toot

bookmarks I would use to save for later

@Gargron my preferred system is Likes to acknowledge to the poster your feelings and Bookmarks to save things for yourself

@Gargron for me it would make total sense

@Gargron i definitely would like to be able to separate likes/favourites from bookmarked toots. it's hard to find articles I'd like to read later when they're buried in starred favourites, but I'd like to validate posts by giving them a star!

@Gargron In addition to bookmark feature please add end to end encrypted DMs.

@Gargron Favorite is acknowledgementBM is saving for later use.

All fav are definitely not BMs.

@Gargron probably not. idk what purpose that would serve tbh. less is more, after all.

@Gargron Given that after three readings of that toot I'm not quite getting the different features, I would say you are not alone.

Are these "🌟 fave" vs. "📝 note for later"?

@Gargron it would be useful as easier to transit from twitter to here.

@Gargron Bookmark would be a really good idea.Today I bookmark using a bookmark group that I share with my wife on WhatsApp

@GargronI'd suggest putting the bookmark/save for later option in the [...]-menu, and not just next to the star. It is presumably less often you want to (perhaps temporarily) save a toot to:- read a long thread / big linked document- respond properly later- follow a debate you're undecided about- look at when you have a big display / headphones / privacy

@Gargron personally favourites are not something I have ever or would ever use for saving content, not sure I would use a bookmarks feature but would see this as kinda separate

@Gargron I'm confused listening to this. Sorry 😄

@Gargron instead of bookmark save for offline is Nother good way to view the content offline when in need. If they r web pages switch on the data or network and continue

@Gargron On the contrary, I think Bookmarking is a good idea

@Gargron instead of side-by-side, why not build tools to manage your favorites? I've always wanted a feature where anything I save gets pushed into a queue and then I have to either archive and label it, or take some sort of action, to remove it from the queue.

@Gargron I agree. Never completely understood the difference.
