Following the publication of this story, X owner Elon Musk reshared a screenshot of it, saying it’s “important to allow people to like posts without getting attacked for doing so!”

Thin-skinned Nazis don't like being called Nazis for liking other Nazi content.

A few weeks ago, X’s director of engineering, Haofei Wang, said the upcoming change is meant to protect users’ public image — because “many people feel discouraged” to like “edgy” content.

That's the fucking point, Wang. Nazis should be discouraged from liking other Nazi content. Society shouldn't tolerate bigots, much less embolden them- the way you and your boss want to do.
