❤ What "Reactions" would you like to see on SW? And how would you show Disapproval? 😥

[b]We have plans to implement Reactions/Emotions to Posts (and possibly Comments) on SW.[/b]

Not always will you have something to write (comment) about a post, and you may find it easier at times to leave some feedback by using our Reaction feature.

The list of options may include such emoji: ❤ 👍 😄 😢 😯 🤣 😥 😡

This list is meant to allow users be able to express their feelings toward a post or topic, in all major ways of human expression.


We recently posted today asking for feedback on the same topic, more specifically, feedback on the inclusion of a Thumbs Down/Dislike reaction: 👎

As it is one reaction of many, it would tend not to stand out that strongly, as for example with sites who only allow two options: Like / Dislike

However, we understand that many would prefer not to have such an option at all on SW, as it may potentially be used to harass others, and can leave negative feelings.

At the same time, we are wondering if members will be ok with excluding a way to express dislike on a topic/post.

[b][u]An example for better illustration:[/u][/b]

Someone makes such a post:
[quote]I like seeing other women while my girlfriend is away 😉[/quote]

[b]How would you want to "React" to such a post?

Would any of the other reaction options be sufficient?
or can you suggest for us a reaction option that would be suitable?

Or is it better not to have any option to react in dislike of a post?


[u]Also, specifically guys:[/u] What sort of emoji/reaction would be suitable for you?[/b]

I understand that it "feels easier" for women to react to posts with: 😢 😡
While men may feel more apprehensive in using very expressive/emotional gestures.

We would genuinely like to know, as we want to make SW as convenient as possible to members, while we understand the stigma around having a "Dislike" option.


Here is our previous post, with poll, on the topic:

I would also like to point out how the emojis act really weird for me. I don’t know if it’s due to me being on my phone and if it’s just an issue I have, but they often don’t show up correctly and sometimes will messed up unless I scroll over them and then they’ll go to their correct form if that makes sense ? Sometimes scrolling over them doesn’t even change them to their correct form 🙊 and there’s been a time where the emoji I used for the context of the message wasn’t correct or didn’t make much sense so I had to ask the other user what emoji they originally used because it wasn’t showing up correctly for me. 😶
In the first photo the heart and thumb emoji meshed together, which is what happens mostly, the second image the thumb emoji is replacing some emojis by showing up multiple times, and the last image the issue is obvious and happens quite often too.

I laughed when I seen this one

@Fishy a lot of them show up like that 😅 it honestly looks gross to me. Lol, at first it was kind of assuming, then frustrating, now I’ve gotten use to it and don’t even notice it. I just think I should point it out though, as admin may not be aware of it.
