And let everyone sort posts by emoji count.
NOSTR does this too
Nobody wants a visual cacophony of zoomer hieroglyphics on every post, so yes congratulations on the unpopular opinion .
How are emoji zoomer ? If I had to guess of say they’re more of a millennial thing
Nobody will probably remember canv.as but you would give people emoji stickers like that. Cookies were the participation award. I loved that site.
Upvoted for being unpopular. I already block people who use emojis here anyway

Upvoted for being unpopular because damn that’s some unpopular shit
I had to reverse my vote when I realized the community. I can never remember how the rules work. Am I supposed to upvote? Hah

So like Facebook?
Downvotes are why I’m here!
Social media without downvotes are just propaganda mills, reinforcing bad behavior.

Then we can make a lemmy client that spews the emoji reacts as bubbles over the screen everytime you load a post
I would say solely doing this would be unpopular and I wouldn’t be for it.
I could see it working. Properties:
Assign each emoji an up/downvote and keep the current system. Hitting an emoji also does one of these.
Have a separate bar for emojis that is collapsed by default
Make emojis optional so you can still up/downvote
Make emojis optional so you can still up/downvote
modern not-misskey implementations of federated emoji reactions do separate likes from reactions, if lemmy doesn’t want to reinvent the wheel (they have no reason to!), this will most likely be how it’ll work
Wow, this is the right lemmy for that post…. I do agree with you, though.
upvoted but realized which community this was posted so i had to un-vote (i think thats how it works here)
emoji reactions and especially actual custom emojis that are not broken inline markdown images are one of the defining parts of the actually fun parts of the fedi and not having any (even as an option you can disable) just makes this site look even more of a boring politics shitflinging and linux evangelism platform instead of somewhere you can expect people to relax and have fun at
they are way less of a distraction than replies with reaction images and 10 gigabyte animated gifs which take up half your screen and seem to be favored by the people here considering the negative reactions (ha!) this opinion got
i’d also be in favor of MFM, too. doing MFM art is much more of a creative expression than shilling firefox or grumbling about how the US is falling apart
just, please implement them correctly and in an interoperable fashion, and not like the broken mess of a custom emoji system lemmy has today
I would love that! There could be emojis for good, bad, funny, sad, neutral, and wtf. Then, users could choose to see posts based on the mood rather than the simple up/down dichotomy.
