I commented on the Q&A thread before I saw this one, and got two likes and a sob. What does the sob mean? Sympathy for me? A sarcastic comment that I’m a whiny little *****? A sneer about being too old to handle change?

It looks as if every comment is now a poll, the results of which we must try and decipher.

Will you take requests from us, oh great one?

I’m not really a fan of this.
I’ll put a “like” on a horrible story of a ten-year-old murdering his teacher only because it has been brought to my attention, not because I actually like it.

At the risk of being labelled old-fashioned - if it ain’t broke…

I’m not sure I can keep up with the youths.

I know I already used :confused: and :thinking: a lot

But of course! But I warn thee, a custom Mindysan emoji is not (yet) part of UTF-8, so I cannot accommodate such a request as appropriate as it may otherwise be!

:thinking: is probably a good one. Let’s see how they are (or are not) used first, though? I don’t want to cause decision overload with a bazillion options either.

Thank you for the new feature. Will probably just keep using :heart: however. Which could mean any of,
“Well said”
“My sentiments exactly”
“That’s a really good idea” :bulb:
“I understood that reference”
“I acknowledge your clever pun”
“Learned something new, thanks” :open_book:
“Sounds like something I would do”

I liked @chgoliz’s suggestion of a thumbs up… and the cussing emoji… maybe some pets?

Sure! And if that works for you, feel free to continue doing so! For me, putting a :heart: on a story like that just feels… icky, and I’m sure I’m not alone there.

:grimacing: is not currently on the list either

That would be one for the ‘anger’ emoji, and I’d use that rather than a heart.

ETA:…a ‘sob’ one would be another good one for that sort of story.

…don’t murder it?

It has always felt icky for me putting a heart on a horrible story.

It is what I have become used to here.

I will endeavour to embrace the new change.

Perhaps a simple check mark noting acknowledgment? Or an X.

Dunno, I’m now forced to click twice to acknowledge my “Like” but also make a choice on how to react.

The workload has doubled!!
