For context’s sake, there’s already a blog post on how Discourse aims to do better than Twitter:

> **[Your Community Door](https://blog.codinghorror.com/your-community-door/)**
>
> What are the real world consequences to signing up for a Twitter or Facebook account through Tor and spewing hate toward other human beings?
> 
> Facebook reviewed the comment I reported and found it doesn’t violate their Community Standards. – Rob...

This doesn’t mention likes, so I’ll mention the big difference between Discourse and Twitter:

- Discourse never sorts users, or posts, by likes. Liking a post doesn’t impact the post’s visibility at all.
- Likes do influence a user’s visibility, by raising rate-limits and unlocking features, but these do not grow without bound. Once you reach [twenty](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/), there’s no point in trying to get more.
- The number of likes that a user receives is buried under their profile, and shown alongside a bunch of other numbers, including the number of likes they’ve given.
