(some commentary on my experience reacting to this – if this had been slack/discord, I’d have wanted to emoji-react with a thumbsup to this, intended to imply “cool, I get what you meant, and have seen this.” Thumbs-up in this case doesn’t necessarily mean “I agree” or any other specific thing, it’s a sort of flexible symbol.
I think it was sort of deliberate that we don’t have a thumbs-up react here on LW yet, and I’m not sure how I feel about that. I think on one hand, we already have upvotes, and multiple other reacts that mean specific shades of “I agree”, “I support”, “I endorse”, so maybe a generic thumbsup is more confusing than helpful. But, I did wish I had it here.
Yeah, I keep finding myself wishing that every other message/communication platform I use, would add Discord-style custom emotes for hyperspecific situations.
Coolio, if you knew what you meant, sure.
