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.

Simply not true, I work with many older people and they like using emojis if they’re more techy, there’s nothing wrong with them, get over yourself.

Lmao, I accept your answer, I just disagree with your opinion from my lived experiences, you seem like you’re a lot of fun at parties.
I’m hoping for actual constructive criticism to the idea, not just “I don’t like emojis because Im an uptight ass”

Thanks, it’s definitely fair to state an opinion, I simply disagree with their opinion (which they’re definitely asserting as fact) and explained why I asked the additional question.
