Interestingly, I can’t find what the limit is, or find any settings to adjust it.
But I can see the point. The idea is that you don’t just like every post you see, but actually are thoughtful with your likes. As you can see in the article @Frank419 shared, likes received are also used to assess user trust, which requires some diligence when giving them.
Good points you got there. For new users, I would definitely understand the heart limits being the way they are, but for users like me, who have been around for quite a while and have gained good amount of trust, I could but only if it were time-based or something
But I’m saying is, if a user has been granted a pretty high trust level such as tl3, instead of having a 24-hour limited amount of hearts, have a Spam detection of some sorts. So if a TL3 member is constantly liking posts, or liking posts frequently, and in a unusual fashion, then there would be limits placed on them. But if they are liking posts normally, and not trying to inflate statistics or anything, then they would be fine without limits. I’m hoping I’m sort of getting my point across.
That’s my POV on things. Sorry if my writing is bad this time, I’m using speech to text and it kind of sucks.
So with the liking every posts thing, the heart limits are to avoid constantly liking everyone’s posts to inflate statistics? I can definitely see that, especially with the fact that I definitely like certain posters posts all the time.
2FA is mainly useful to combat the limitations of password authentication. The social networks each have their own 2FA that also protects your account. Having it only for password authentication is secure enough.
But I will admit that it also has to do with how the 2FA works, and adding 2FA support for social logins requires me hacking deeper into the internals of the 2FA library than I feel comfortable with. It wouldn’t be the first time I added a security vulnerability through incorrect modification of auth code.
