       I don't like the semantics of Favouriting a post.  It's as bad as Facebook likes or Twitter hearts.Sometimes you just want to ping it as a way of acknowledging it, providing support to the poster, etc. But that doesn't mean you "like" the post.(The "+1" that Google+ had for reacting to posts was probably the only thing Google got right.)

       @rrwo@fosstodon.org Does #Mastodon still not support emoji reacts?

       @tyil Apparently not.I actually find those confusing. I end up overthinking it.Is the frowning face or the turd more appropriate?Should I adjust the skin tone of the emoji?I gave them a thumbs up, but what if they're from a culture where that means "up yours"?

       @rrwo@fosstodon.org Is the frowning face or the turd more appropriate?When in doubt, just post a turd.Should I adjust the skin tone of the emoji?Nope.I gave them a thumbs up, but what if they're from a culture where that means "up yours"?Such is life. Good people don't get offended about that stuff.
