Is there a way to remove Participants and Likes columns completely?

To me those two columns are only distractions!
It look like I am on social networking sites not a product/software related support and interaction.So, Is there a way to remove Participants and Likes columns from discourse completely?
Thank you

Applied Discourse Compact css styles and all is better now!, and now I can customize the format to my ‘likes’ :slight_smile: Great!
