I can't quite work out if it would it be ironic to like this post, or to not to?

I went for the latter in order to depressurise LM's CUK experience

Instagram lets users hide likes to reduce social media pressure

"Instagram is offering its users the option to hide the number of likes they receive on posts on the app.

The aim is to “depressurize people’s experience” on the platform, the social media giant said.

Users with the feature enabled will now see the username of a follower who has liked the post, “and others”, instead of a number.

The tool has been tested in several countries since 2019, but it is now being rolled out globally.

“This has taken longer than I had hoped, but I am pretty excited about… giving people more control over the experience,” Instagram's boss Adam Mosseri told the BBC."
