@AilliA by the way I think you liked two of my posts on X but the heart display still shows 0 for each.
Is X still fucking with your account there?

I didn't know that... well, if it removes my likes, maybe that's the case.. :(
If I click my post details I can see your like but on the actual post it doesn't show any likes.
sus.
Seems they show up now.
Potentially, but not the only reason of inconsistency.
Ghost Likes (Anti-Spam): X’s algorithm flagged the liker as "suspicious." The user sees the red heart on their screen, but the backend invalidated the vote immediately to prevent botting.
Private Likes Sync Bug: Since likes became private, the notification system (which sees the action) and the public counter (which displays it) frequently fail to sync.
Aggressive Caching: The distributed system is lagging; the notification is real time, but the public metric is serving an old version of the data.
