Quote from: Simon on July 04, 2026, 10:37:58 PMThe main hesitation is: I don't want animated thumbs-up under 3 messages out of 4.

We can make an un-animated 'thumbs up' for this purpose, I'd think? Can we choose which lemojis get used for post reactions? If so, definitely don't use any of the animated ones.

We can make a version of the 'thumbs up' lemoji with the hand facing downwards instead. And, don't animate it.

I've attached new versions of these lemojis (I couldn't see Lana's anywhere... have they been added yet?). If they look too similar, I'm happy to think of something else. It'd be a shame for 'we don't have the lemojis we need' to be a/the reason not to add this feature.

On the thumbs down, we should see fingers, such as this: And we'll remove the animation.

Most of Lana's smileys are uploaded. Hard-refresh the page (Shift/Ctrl/both, and either R or F5).

I think you can boil me until soft with the right smileys like these. But still it needs the working plugin.

Do we really need a way to thumbs-down a post? I don't want this forum to go down that road.

I have no idea what namida's potential plugin will do. If you can restrict it to a small selection of smileys (thumbs up), that will be good.

The worry came from: If it can't restrict it, and instead offer everything there is, it's better to have explicit thumbs-down than, e.g., abusing the sick smiley. I'm not even sure if I'd still remain neutral on those reaction buttons anymore in that case. I'd probably advise against then.

Agreed, if we can't restrict it to a select few lemojis, it's probably not worth it.
