@rosewsgf @_elena A user can see who has liked their post on mastodon, sure. You cannot view who liked someone else’s post on mastodon nor can you see everything someone on mastodon has liked. Both of those are public info on Bluesky (and thus any connected bridges). That’s not necessarily bad, but it’s a difference people should be aware of. 2 comments
@rosewsgf @_elena I was definitely mistaken here. I was looking at other mastodon servers that seem to be configured differently and did not show the favorites. I stand corrected. My personal GoToSocial instance shows that there are likes, but does not share who liked it, as I understand it. It certainly doesn’t on the web view or to my alt account. |

@amd @_elena I certainly can see the people who liked any Mastodon post by clicking on "favorites". That part is standard and expected across all social media.
The parts about publicly tying all likes or blocks to a user are a different story requiring a different level of awareness. It reminds me of Lemmy where most people can't see the users behind the likes and dislikes, but some instances of mbin allow to see those, enabling harassment and comments like "why did you dislike my post?"
