Feature Request: Allow Users to Remove Kudos

As an active Strava user, I'd like to propose adding the ability to remove kudos. This feature would align Strava with standard social media functionality while improving the user experience.

 

Why This Matters

1. User Control: Social media platforms universally allow users to control their interactions, including the ability to remove likes or reactions. This control helps users manage their digital footprint and engagement history.

2. Error Prevention: Accidental kudos can happen, especially on mobile devices. The ability to undo this action would help maintain meaningful engagement metrics.

3. User Experience: While the current "kudos are forever" policy is playful, it may not serve the best interests of users who need to manage their activity history for personal reasons.

 

Implementation Suggestion

The solution could be as simple as allowing users to tap the orange thumbs-up icon again to remove kudos, similar to how likes work on other platforms. This would be intuitive for users and likely straightforward to implement.

 

Benefits

- Improved user satisfaction and control over their interactions
- Alignment with standard social media functionality
- Enhanced user experience for both free and premium subscribers
- More accurate engagement metrics

I believe this feature would be a valuable addition to Strava's platform and would appreciate the team considering its implementation in a future update.
