Emojis and Lemmy (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
 

Does anyone else think having emojis as a response to a comment/thread would be a neat addition instead of only upvote/downvote?

Reddit seemed to sorta do that with awards but thats not quite what I'm suggesting.

Something similar to GitHub for instance, except we keep the upvote downvote system as-is.

This would hopefully discourage the use of upvote/downvote as a "I like/dislike this" button while also adding the ability to more accurately express the emotion the post/comment illicited

Additionally, there are a lot of people who are mostly just lurkers and have no desire to post, but they want to be able to emote further then just a upvote/downvote but DON'T want to actually post a comment like "I love this" or "You're so right" or even just commenting an emoji, because making a comment is a whole extra action that makes them visible, opens up to comments or upvotes/downvotes.

Does everything everyone says need to prefaced with OPINION: [statement], or FACT: [statement], or can you just learn how to discern the fundamentals of social interaction?

Looking trough your comment history, you seem to have stated a LOT of opinions. Should I assume you’re suggesting they’re all factual?

I'm just gonna block and move on, if you really can't see that you're asserting that it's a fact that only children or immature people would use Emojis, you should reevaluate how you talk to people.
