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.
Don’t ask questions if you’re not willing to accept answers you don’t like. It shows your age. It’s no wonder you’re wanting emojis on lemmy.
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"
You don’t accept my answer. If you did, you wouldn’t be arguing with me about it. You asked an opinion-based question, I gave you mine. You delved, I obliged. And now you have a problem with it.
Grow up.
It’s reasons like this that emojis shouldn’t be allowed on lemmy. Leave that shit on twitter.
@Pratai @Jakeroxs I hardly use emojis and I don't accept your answer either, because the premise of "nobody old uses them if they want to be taken seriously" just isn't true.
If you base your argument around a fact, which turns out to be false, that's okay, just accept when people point that out, or look it up to confirm or deny your fact.
If you simply think emojis are immature and you don't like them, that's an opinion, which is more respectable.
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.
Point out where I stated this as a fact.

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.
K.
@Jakeroxs Yeah my response was directed at Pratai
👍
Exactly. Which is what I stated. Question asked- question answered. OP just didn’t like my answer after asking why.
I wasn’t aware it was: “answer only if you agree.” Had this been stated, I’d have ignored the question and moved on.
