The usecase is that you want to support the OP's posts while also saving them for the future. Pressing both buttons for all the posts that you like is not intuitive.
Some users have 2 priorities of saved messages as neither Lemmy nor Reddit support lists in Saved Posts which something like Instagram has.
One priority is just to have a history of posts that amused you. You upvote them. (memes fit this) And other is actually saving them for future reference. (Articles, Opinions, etc.)
It is a nightmare trying to find some critical information but first sifting through all the memes and shitposts. So this feature is highly needed to make Lemmy atleast somewhat useful for me.
Good riddance? Not really cause US still has clones of tiktok present like reels and shorts.
Nothing will change. Data will still be collected. China can easily buy data from the open market. Mental health will still be affected.
In fact, due to lack of competition, things will only get worse.
US and India are 2 moronic countries
