✨ New Emojis?

As an interesting extra, there’s been a change to count all Reactions as Likes in terms of badges and behind the scenes metrics. I don’t think it’ll make too much difference to us, but I thought it worth noting. :memo: [1]

I like having a selection, even if some are used only rarely. I do think ‘positive only’ is the best approach, though in some cases even ones like :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: can be used to agree with the content of what someone has written rather than a judgement against it (I’m not advocating for that particular one, just an example :slight_smile:).

As a lot can be context dependent, I think there should also be stricter sanctions for people who use them to troll people. I don’t see it as any different to leaving a shitty comment.


  1. There is also a setting to deliberately not include specific ones as Likes, but I’m not sure we need it ↩︎

Great to see an emoji review, I never really understood the meaning of :gimp: to me it always seemed quite rude, but maybe thats just my interpretation of it.
I agree with @Peitho’s list of emojis, I don’t think we need any others to replace them or to be added on.

Looks like the general consensus is to remove have a smaller selection :slight_smile: I’ve removed the least used emojis - if we find we are missing a reaction we can look to add new ones in the future! :smiley:

As long as the one’s that can be used in a negative way go, i am happy with the rest.

Oh no the :100: has gone! I thought this was used a lot when members agreed with a post :man_shrugging:t3: how do you start a poll to bring it back? :joy: Does anyone agree? :wink:

:100: agree and would vote :grin:

I liked the :100: as well. I don’t think the :+1: is the same. To me, :100: meant ‘strongly agree’, whereas the :+1: is more ‘yup’.
