And that's all. Nowhere does it says who, it doesn't log the IP (thankfully; it would be quite stalkerish) and, as it's an old-ish, generic entry (who likes a September digest in January when there's been October, November and December since??) I have no idea why.
That's so damn weird. And useless. And a bit creepy. I mean, I love getting anon kudos on AO3: I get from them that someone loves the characters, the theme, the fandom, whatever. But this??

The news post pretended that having someone like your entry is the equivalent of a friend waving and saying Hi? No. No it's not. It's not a friend if I don't know who. It's no Hi if I can't assess what they like. It's the equivalent of someone playing ding-dong-ditch.

I do not want to unsubscribe from the notification. I want a way the get rid of the feature altogether so no one will be tempted again to press that useless, stupid button.
If you have something to say, just do. If you can't gather the courage to comment, keep lurking. That anonymous like button? Not helping. At all. At least not on a journal. (On a fic post, maybe, but I don't post fic on LJ anymore, so...)

So, random-anonymous-person who liked my September digest post;
I get that your intent was good willed and friendly, but instead I thank you for making me hate the LJ staff and the ass backwards way they "manage" the site even more.
