Likes changed to "reactions"-- why? (1 Viewer)

That should do it. Let me know

Dave, I think the scores for these new options might be incorrectly set to 10 rather than 1, as my total 'Reaction Score' has jumped by about 30 points.

I made Love and Insightful worth 2, where as everything else is a flat one. I think it just recalculated your total score.

You shouldn't have changed a word. I was just busting on you.

Yes, all positive reactions have the same value as a like. Now we can also add negative reactions, such as dislike but haven't turned that on.

A dislike or thumbs down emoji I would welcome. I don’t think it should count as a negative be used to diminish the likes score. Let the expression of dislike be enough. IMHO.

What about “oh no, here he goes again”?

I've added dislike

I'm playing with it now. Do we really need Wow and Sad?

Sad will probably come into play in an obit thread.

I had no idea that there were more options than LIKE. I think that is great, though I am not sure about the dislike. We'll see if that causes problems down the road.

I'm glad for the added "reactions". This brings it more in line with what Facebook and Messenger and (Apple) Messages do. It also gives a bit more expressiveness.

I'd consider replacing "dislike" with "sadness". That allows a bit more nuance in reacting to someone's comments on difficult times, personal loss, health challenges, etc. Dislike seems to me to only be a negative.

Let’s see if I set the record for most of those received

@RMajidi hahahaha

Thanks and Appreciate feel a bit redundant, and I actually like appreciate better overall. Let's see how this goes.

Great job with the selection of the doffed hat icon. It serves well as Appreciated, Thanks and You’re Welcome.

I started to down vote you "just because" but you're too nice a guy...

Agreed!

I think that's a mistake! This post illustrates my thought process about why it's a mistake.

I’m glad it was added. I will however, use it sparingly. If some like a movie I hate, states an opinion contrary to mine, that’s not a reason for a “dislike.” For me, the dislike will be for mean-spirited posts.

I hate it because some people will weaponize it.

That's what I was thinking. That or bad news about a release or a release date getting pushed back or that kind of stuff.

If that happens, the powers that be can remove it.

As mine was.
