After some amount of time (a few mins?) the heart icon goes darker and you can no longer toggle the like button…
Is this some new discourse “feature”?

It has always been the case. After 5 minutes the like can’t be removed.

I’m willing to believe the function may have pre-existed… but you can’t convince me the colour change isn’t new

I was just responding to “are likes permanent now?”. I didn’t pay attention to the color.

WHAT? Must screenshot now, for documentation purposes:
Whoa 
I never noticed that.

Apparently after 5 minutes you are not allowed to change your opinion on a certain matter anymore. Of course you can do so in a follow up post, but that is not the same.

Interesting, I never noticed this. Why though? Not clear to me what’s the purpose 
Actually I remembered wrong, it’s 10 minutes and not 5 minutes:
I don’t know the rationale, perhaps the goal is to avoid confusing readers about who liked or didn’t like the post?

I think we should have more reactions other than just likes.

From my memory this feature is not old. Thanks for noticing it, I see darker likes everywhere now.
