Heckler's veto

Tbh I think leaving upvotes the way they are is fine. I think an emoji solution would only work if you could basically set up a specific list of allowable ones, kind of similar to Facebook’s reactions. Like just having a few flavors of uovotes, more or less.

@mietze said in Heckler's veto:

So I’m not sure that feeling is something that can be avoided by some kind of structure or mechanical thing. It’s a vulnerability thing. It’s easiest solved by maybe if it was safe to ask people (or tell them) hey, I’m feeling kinda down about my place in this game/community/friends group, I’m sure it’s just brain weasels but I could really use some positive talk/hearing about something recently i’ve done that you liked, ect. But that is hard. really hard. Don’t want to seem “needy”, I would say most of us are conditioned that is a dangerous or disgusting thing.
The times when I’ve felt unsure, unseen, or unwanted (knowing the latter is 99 percent probably brain weasels) I think it’s never been upvotes that have helped me but reaching out to people and asking them to confirm that I’m an okay person and mostly fun to be around, that I contribute something. I mean I worry about that too (are they rolling their eyes), but it seems to have a more immediate and helpful effect.

Great point. I have made a thing.

@Roz I agree.

Facebook style ones so I can accidentally haha a sad post because I didn’t drag across the reactions enough.

Thank you all for going the extra mile to move a LONG hijack out of a peaceful forum and into the rowdy forum.
