Bug description

The daily metrics posted to Discord are primarily intended to portray member activity. Since the single automatic project like granted upon project submission is performed by the system and not a member, it should be omitted from the count of projects liked.

How to reproduce

  1. Open up The Odin Project's Discord server.
  2. Review recent posts in the top-daily-stats channel.
  3. Note that all posts show a project like count that is greater than the project submissions added count.

Expected behavior

  1. Open up The Odin Project's Discord server.
  2. Review recent posts in the top-daily-stats channel.
  3. View a count of project likes that is significantly lower than the project submissions added count.

Additional Comments

I have a pull request at the ready for this, but would recommend a brief discussion on the issue before it gets reviewed/merged.

If this bug is fixed, we'll see the daily project like count crater from 140+ to 10-20. I personally believe this is the right move, since it provides a more accurate measure of project member activity. I am not aware if the current metric is being reported in any promotional/sponsorship material, however. (But then, I suspect there must be a better source of the data than a daily post in a Discord channel.)
