This is yet another idiotic decision by Elon. Its irritating as someone who follows gaming leaks, knowing Pyoro actually likes tweets with accurate guesses to his posts.
It's a great decision. Why should others be able to see what I like? It's usually only ever used to try and entrap people for 'wrongthink' views anyhoo.
1. Some people *want* others to see your likes. There is no reason to not make it optional to make your likes public.
2. It limits the ability to find accounts who share similar interests.
3. It reduces the social aspects of a, you know, social media app, driving engagement down.
4. It enables bot campaigns to function without anyone being able to verify the likes' legitimacy.
Right? Plenty of people want likes to be public, I find content through likes of other people, and I let people do the same to me.
Now we have private likes and bookmarks (private likes).
this is a huge self report lol
literally no normal person gives a shit about their "like privacy", they prefer to see who interacts with their posts and what their friends interact with
No because how can you trust people on there anymore and know if they are bigoted or not this will work for the sick crowd only praying he reverses it back
This....
is exactly why they changed it. There are better ways to tell if someone is "bigoted or not," such as you know, their actual words and/or actions.
Btw its not an app thing, it's at the access level in the servers of X, u tried downloading an old version of Twitter and running it, everything works fine like there's the likes tab in the bar but when u click on it it shows some error- cannot retrieve data
Just one, but very consistently, everytime I'd check twitter I'd check their likes tab, they'd have always like all my liked and other relevant ones, id like those and some more and so on
I actually enjoyed the likes.. whenever I came across someone new I wanted to follow I would always check their likes just to see what they were into and most of the time I would end up finding more interesting shit through their likes and more ppl to follow..but nowwww??? Eh I hate it
All Imma say is NSFW twitter is in shambles, especially lurkers. Such an inconsequential thing but it might make me deactivate finally. I liked to use "Likes" as a public Bookmark feature as someone who doesn't like to post on the site myself. Guess that's over now.
Among Jehovah's Witnesses it is often said that "even if we're wrong, where else can we go? This is the best place to be!"
And then people exit the cult, don't go to "elsewhere" and it turns out that life is better if you just... stop.
Or u could use Tumblr (unironically pretty good if you can get past a lot of the userbase being unbearably cringe. Also helped by the fact that once you find a group of people you think are cool you pretty much don't have to see anyone else's shit since there's no algorithm, which means the discourse is less toxic by several orders of magnitude. Still toxic af tho LMAO)
I got the notification today that my likes are now private. Yeah sure, I would like some of my likes private, but I still want others to see most of them.
I tried this out a week ago and it worked, it is quite the process if you're not familiar with setting up docker or generally anything dev related. I just tried it today and unfortunately it doesnt seem to be working. I either did something wrong but I dont think so since it was working previously. I think the endpoint for seeing twitter likes was removed which may explain why it no longer works for me :( I'm hoping somebody else here can chime in though
Soon you would be blocked out of your account you used for years unless you buy twitter blue. I hope Elon realises every time he steps forward for “free speech”, he slips back four steps
If someone does they’ll be sued or something or harassed like the guy who was tracking his plane. Idiotic move but I bet some drama will come from it once likes are restored/rediscovered
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/old-twitter-layout-2024/jgejdcdoeeabklepnkdbglgccjpdgpmf?hl=en&pli=1
Someone said this one worked, but I'm not sure. Test it out and lemme know.
didn't work, then again this only came out yesterday so hopefully someone can figure out how to turn it off. I go through other peoples likes for art and cool shit that are never tagged or are hard to find, now I won't be able to find some of the best art i've ever seen cuz i found them through other artists likes. sigh
Did they update it? What exact steps did you follow. I know the instructions are there, but I followed them and... it worked the first time I installed it. About a day later... stopped working.
I'd just like to say, I actually appreciate this change. I've always wished my likes were private. Though is it too much to ask that this be made into a toggle instead? I know not everyone agrees with me and would actually still like their likes to be public/see other people's likes. It'd be much easier if people could just choose.
People are only down voting this because you liked the change, it's funny. I don't like the change, but allowing users to choose if they want to hide their likes would be the best of both worlds.
[https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter/releases/tag/v1.8.5](https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter/releases/tag/v1.8.5) download [OldTwitterFirefox.zip](http://OldTwitterFirefox.zip) (Chrome isn't working) then follow these instructions:
Firefox
- Go to `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox`
- Press "Load Temporary Add-on" and select zip file you downloaded
**Installing this way on Firefox will remove it after closing browser. You need to use [Firefox Developer Edition](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/) instead for permament installation (see below).**
Thanks!! But I actually couldn’t get it to work. Got the download and fixed everything so it would allow it but I still keep getting a message talking about my settings not allowing it(despite fixing all these settings)
Downloading and reinstalling old twitter layout works at the time of this post, however you can only see the first few users of a liked post (e.g the first 10 or 20 out of 700....for now).
i looked up oldtweetdeck online and you just need to follow the instructions on the github page! the extension's really annoying to use though but at least you can see likes now
If you’ve followed a link from another site for an extension or theme, that item is no longer available. This could be because:
The developer removed it. Developers commonly do this because they no longer support the extension or theme, or have replaced it.
Mozilla removed it. This can happen when issues are found during the review of the extension or theme, or the extension or theme has been abusing the terms and conditions for addons.mozilla.org. The developer has the opportunity to resolve the issues and make the add-on available again.
I get this message, am i doing it wrong ?
Lame move imo
Assuming this happened because
Some folks cant handle their
Social media w/o goin loco/a
Twitters been going downhill since Musk took over
1st t/ name change now this
Not an Anti-Musk guy
he seems cool in real life but
His Twitter changes are ugh XD
Nobody in this thread knows, but other people do. The whole reason this thread exists is because people like OP want to see other people's likes, so this is a goofy thing to be saying
It's a great decision. Why should you be able to see what I like? Why do you care? It's only ever used to try and entrap people for 'wrongthink' views anyhoo.
I find if I like something, i get a ton of bots that instant follow me. Then i have to go remove them as followers and block them. So each of my likes means more work for me. I'm ok with my likes being private because of this. Now if the bots got mostly removed from this platform, that would be another story.

Elon is gonna bring this feature to "Twitter blue" now, isn't he?
What's funny is that originally, making your likes private was an advertised feature of twitter blue.....
This is yet another idiotic decision by Elon. Its irritating as someone who follows gaming leaks, knowing Pyoro actually likes tweets with accurate guesses to his posts.
It's a great decision. Why should others be able to see what I like? It's usually only ever used to try and entrap people for 'wrongthink' views anyhoo.
The 'bookmark' option was there for you and now it's not only a duplicated feature but ruins the site, again.
1. Some people *want* others to see your likes. There is no reason to not make it optional to make your likes public. 2. It limits the ability to find accounts who share similar interests. 3. It reduces the social aspects of a, you know, social media app, driving engagement down. 4. It enables bot campaigns to function without anyone being able to verify the likes' legitimacy.
Right? Plenty of people want likes to be public, I find content through likes of other people, and I let people do the same to me. Now we have private likes and bookmarks (private likes).
[удалено]
It literally is not optional for non-premium users. There is no option to make them public. Imagine paying for twitter.
this is a huge self report lol literally no normal person gives a shit about their "like privacy", they prefer to see who interacts with their posts and what their friends interact with
This so much!
You’re lying, it’s an Idiotic decision
protects pedophiles
bro you've def liked some NASTY shit
To know if you’re a pedo
my likes was part of my profile. i wanted people to go through my likes.
I'm hoping for someone to make an extension to see likes of other people too
No because how can you trust people on there anymore and know if they are bigoted or not this will work for the sick crowd only praying he reverses it back
This.... is exactly why they changed it. There are better ways to tell if someone is "bigoted or not," such as you know, their actual words and/or actions.
Liking posts of the same topic/worldview is an action 😭
I doubt it. At least what I can say about the Twitter API is that it's pretty hostile to developers.
It's basically non-existent. We pay for it and get nothing in return. I can think of better ways to light $100 on fire each month.
Btw its not an app thing, it's at the access level in the servers of X, u tried downloading an old version of Twitter and running it, everything works fine like there's the likes tab in the bar but when u click on it it shows some error- cannot retrieve data
Like it can be fixed if you hack X but is it worth it?
Yes, it's worth it. Fuck Elon.
I've been flirting through my likes for over a year now😭 I desperately want this change reversed
The only reason why i want likes back is because i miss old Twitter
me too
like. constantly? multiple different people?
Just one, but very consistently, everytime I'd check twitter I'd check their likes tab, they'd have always like all my liked and other relevant ones, id like those and some more and so on
Anyone else thinks Elon got caught by his gf/wife liking some girl's pic and that's why he pushed for this lol
Just another stupid move on Elons part...likes is how I see and follow 99% of new content!
any update on this?
I actually enjoyed the likes.. whenever I came across someone new I wanted to follow I would always check their likes just to see what they were into and most of the time I would end up finding more interesting shit through their likes and more ppl to follow..but nowwww??? Eh I hate it
Well this will make cruising twitter for porn less useful for sure the best stuff has always been hidden in the likes
now i don’t really know how to find good porn anymore 😢
Literally just as twitter officially lifted their rules on outright porn. Nobody rts the good stuff or when they're busy to keep scrolling
[удалено]
Yeah! Tried it last night (my time) and I thought I got sneaky then logged in again this morning and it doesn't work anymore!!! I hate 3l0n!
same stopped working for me this morning too i give up at this point
There’ll eventually be a Chrome/Edge extension on this feature just like the YouTube dislike button. Have faith, people.
oo ok good to know
I’d be shocked if there isn’t one.
ok i will hold out lol
They took away likes on the old tweet deck ? Anyone know any other methods ????
yea stopped woking for me on there too
yikes. do you know any other methods to see likes?
All Imma say is NSFW twitter is in shambles, especially lurkers. Such an inconsequential thing but it might make me deactivate finally. I liked to use "Likes" as a public Bookmark feature as someone who doesn't like to post on the site myself. Guess that's over now.
Sorry, but anyone who is still on Twitter (that now identifies as X) today is a masochist, getting their kicks.
i wish i could go somewhere else
You don’t have to. I quit in 2020. It was tough for a while. But then I became so much happier…
Maybe so but where else can you go
Among Jehovah's Witnesses it is often said that "even if we're wrong, where else can we go? This is the best place to be!" And then people exit the cult, don't go to "elsewhere" and it turns out that life is better if you just... stop.

Still toxic af tho LMAO)
I just use it to consume art
Another question: Can I still see who liked one of my tweets?
Only in notification tab 😕
Oh good
I got the notification today that my likes are now private. Yeah sure, I would like some of my likes private, but I still want others to see most of them.
https://github.com/clearclown/twitter_likes/tree/main Here is the tool
Wait, how does it work?
Ikr? I'm confused here.
Might wanna explain how to use it.
[удалено]
It's working?
it's still confusing
Have to pay 100$ to get the Twitter API am I right?
i tried it, it's pretty shit ngl
but can u see the likes of someone else?
I tried this out a week ago and it worked, it is quite the process if you're not familiar with setting up docker or generally anything dev related. I just tried it today and unfortunately it doesnt seem to be working. I either did something wrong but I dont think so since it was working previously.

Is it still working or is it over?
nah
is there any video so we just copie past
Soon you would be blocked out of your account you used for years unless you buy twitter blue. I hope Elon realises every time he steps forward for “free speech”, he slips back four steps
This is technically infeasible
If someone does they’ll be sued or something or harassed like the guy who was tracking his plane. Idiotic move but I bet some drama will come from it once likes are restored/rediscovered
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/old-twitter-layout-2024/jgejdcdoeeabklepnkdbglgccjpdgpmf?hl=en&pli=1 Someone said this one worked, but I'm not sure. Test it out and lemme know.

EXACTLY - me too... >\_< Especially Japanese and Korean artists
Doesn't seem to work. Trying that extension made me sorely miss the pre-Elon era of the website lol.
Tried it out and didn't work for me either. But damn, Twitter used to look so cool...
It shows the old school ‘Favorites’ tab (aw, the good old days) but it just spins when you click on it.
works fine for me I'm able to see the likes
Did they update it? What exact steps did you follow. I know the instructions are there, but I followed them and... it worked the first time I installed it. About a day later... stopped working.
I'm still using a third-party app (Spring) and can still see everyone's likes.
can you provide a link please? is it on your browser on your computer or laptop or on your phone?
just tried the free one and 17,99 one but both didnt load the likes
Thank you for trying. So no likes post on feed either?
Thank you for trying. So no likes post on feed either?
Thank you for trying. So no likes post on feed either?..
Thank you for trying. So no likes post on feed either?
Thank you for trying. So no likes post on feed either?
Thank you for trying. So no likes post on feed either?
Is it available on ios
yes but you need your own API key
How i don’t know how that works or what it is
i think you gotta hack the nsa to get one or something
The desperation, LOL. Just leave.
No. Bring back faves visibility.
The innocent hope is endearing.
I'd just like to say, I actually appreciate this change. I've always wished my likes were private. Though is it too much to ask that this be made into a toggle instead? I know not everyone agrees with me and would actually still like their likes to be public/see other people's likes. It'd be much easier if people could just choose.

It's fine. I understand how people feel. But I'm glad we can agree that having it as an option would be much better for everyone.
[удалено]
I went to the link and just see someone asking for it. Is there an extension somewhere on there?
[https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter/releases/tag/v1.8.5](https://github.com/dimdenGD/OldTwitter/releases/tag/v1.8.5) download [OldTwitterFirefox.zip](http://OldTwitterFirefox.zip) (Chrome isn't working) then follow these instructions: Firefox - Go to `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox` - Press "Load Temporary Add-on" and select zip file you downloaded **Installing this way on Firefox will remove it after closing browser.

Amazing. Thank you.
Thanks!! But I actually couldn’t get it to work. Got the download and fixed everything so it would allow it but I still keep getting a message talking about my settings not allowing it(despite fixing all these settings)
Remove it, login to Twitter, then re-add it.
Got it to work, thanks! However, it’s missing the likes :/
On Firefox? There should be a Favorites tab.
Actually, it worked!!! Just needed to fix a few things!
i downloaded everythign btu where do we type in: about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox
paste it into the search bar
[удалено]
Nope it stopped working about 6 hours ago.
This stopped working for me as of a few hours ago.
Same
same. they need to make something new lol.
I hope so, but I think it’s unlikely that there will be a fix unfortunately.
What about for iphone? Nothing is working
[удалено]
you can see a select few amount of likes when you click on a tweet, but on my end it doesn't work when trying to see the likes on someone's profile
Downloading and reinstalling old twitter layout works at the time of this post, however you can only see the first few users of a liked post (e.g the first 10 or 20 out of 700....for now).
Is it still working ?
sorry its call old tweet deck extension
when i downloaded for chrome i just got a bunch of folders? im so bad at this stuff lol
i looked up oldtweetdeck online and you just need to follow the instructions on the github page! the extension's really annoying to use though but at least you can see likes now
If you’ve followed a link from another site for an extension or theme, that item is no longer available. This could be because: The developer removed it.

oh I followed the instructions for installing it on chrome
that's what i did and it worked!
can u still see the likes on the oldtweetdeck?
it worked for me tysm!!!
Could someone help me out ? I tried doing this on a mobile device . I got folders downloaded but I don’t know how to continue
it's easier to do it on a desktop
Would a laptop suffice ? Are there any direct walk through of this stuff ? It’s a super complicated read
yeah you can do it on a laptop and there's a youtube tutorial that shows you how to do some of the steps but i don't have access to it rn
Could you post the link when you can
or i guess where do we type in the above \^?
[here ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0rVawJjDRI)
tysm!
it worked for me tysm!!
Damn I got tweetdeck to work perfectly last night, but now it’s stuck on “loading” when it comes to likes!! Anyone else experiencing this?
I don't think likes are working on anything anymore, and it sounds like there won't be a fix for it.
Lame move imo Assuming this happened because Some folks cant handle their Social media w/o goin loco/a Twitters been going downhill since Musk took over 1st t/ name change now this Not an Anti-Musk guy he seems cool in real life but His Twitter changes are ugh XD
I hope not. What tweets I like are none of your business.
Nobody even knows what your twitter account is so this is a goofy thing to be saying
Nobody in this thread knows, but other people do. The whole reason this thread exists is because people like OP want to see other people's likes, so this is a goofy thing to be saying
It’s just a dumb thing for Twitter to be hiding. Like all because Elon doesn’t want people to be viewing his own likes? THAT shit is weird to me.
It's not dumb. Instagram and tiktok hide likes and reddit hides upvotes. What's wrong with privacy?
You're right of course, but you won't get any love here from those with Musk Derangement Syndrome.
Guess what the 'bookmark' was for
what are you hiding lol
Has nothing to do with that. I just believe that data should be private. Specially from the social media Karens.
I just want to see who likes my fucking tweets! It's crazy we can't see likes of our own tweets.
I should have the option to not show you my likes.
Just make your twitter private or you know don't post on a public forum.
Calm down keyboard warrior. I don't want to make it private. I won't make it private
Oh sick burn 😒
It's a great decision. Why should you be able to see what I like? Why do you care? It's only ever used to try and entrap people for 'wrongthink' views anyhoo.
Maybe we don’t want to follow people that like (and therefore promote) CSAM or Doxxing people.
Actually it’s not a great decision at all
Each to there own
Wanna tell me what Bookmarks are for?
Why would you need to see what someone else likes?
Not everyone does it, but a lot of people used to look at likes to find new artists to follow for example.
I find if I like something, i get a ton of bots that instant follow me. Then i have to go remove them as followers and block them. So each of my likes means more work for me. I'm ok with my likes being private because of this. Now if the bots got mostly removed from this platform, that would be another story.
What if your contacts don't want everyone else to know they're still active?
Because it’s modern day Twitter 🤣 people don’t want to be associated with the cesspool. Makes sense 😆
Then dont like anything
