Ironic af that this is shaping up to be my most popular post so far. Please note this entirely true caveat from @dylanjmcconnell.bsky.social.

I was referring to the behaviour on the main feed. Custom feeds can do all sorts of cool things.

One (important-ish?) caveat - some feeds might use likes as a way to filter content.

(E g. Some user generated feeds might prioritize posts that received the most engagement)

So not strictly (or only) the case they 'do nothing'
