More options to 'upvote'?

Testament

I just want more upvotes because it gives my life validation.

Tez

@catzilla I love this idea and on further exam (a quick google), found some good options to do this with.

Took a look at this and tried to install but ran into issues with dependencies. I posted on their forum for help. In the meantime, stay tuned, but even if we do allow this, we will probably want to make sure that it can be tuned so that, say, no one can reply to this with a knife emoji if I can’t get it work.

@Tez yeah. I didn’t look for whether it allowed an array of emojis or emoji restriction, but that would definitely be a good way to implement it.

I’m going to be the fun-hater who thinks we shouldn’t have it. Upvotes is enough.

Testament

@farfalla But how I can I show my cheeky and/or snide approval or disapproval in emoticon form.

I actually don’t know that it needs a disapproval emoticon, if we have already decided on down votes being gone. I think like, a restricted:

Yessssss. Positive or positive adjacent (sympathy) only I think. Disagreement/negative, when it needs to happen, can be done using words (or big gifs). No need for the negatives to be brainlessly easy; supportiveness being thoughtless-adjacent is OK.
