tapcourtesy
/ˌtæpˈkɜːtəsi/nounVerified NewThe minimal gesture — a tap of the heart on a story or post — performed as social maintenance rather than response.
The tap says "seen, alive, fond," and it is neither comment nor conversation, costing a single muscle movement. Whole friendships now run on it, which both sides quietly know.
Etym. — tap + courtesy — the nod of the feed, reduced to its mechanical minimum.
