Thread 105697274

Imagine if you could add a crying emoji to a post to show you found it funny. Why isn't there imageboard software out there that does this?

how come i cant link my facebook account to 4chan
how do i share my post

>>105697274 (OP)
BASED

>>105697274 (OP)
honestly this is kinda true. i know its trolling but there could be more funny shit on here while being done well and kept anonymous.
we need to update this shit with new features to get new bloods to use it. you can whine about how you dont want them but thats dumb, you need them or the place dies eventually.
anyway stupid shit like anonymous reactions would be harmless. the issue is when it carries over to another thread and your ego/identity is attached and the reactions you got from another thread are carried over to the new one.
thats where the cancer manifests and you start to really care about maximizing your score and echoing opinions that will reward you with more score.

>>105697381
continuing.
basically, you want people to post more, and post better.
that takes effort, so people post less.
reaction emojis kind of help both of these things.

>you get more reactions, its the same as getting a (You), you feel acknowledged, negatively or positively
>you are more likely to post, because this reaction mechanism is more common and easier now

>>105697274 (OP)
it would be fun, I admit

No this is a shit idea because it creates echo chambers. People on Leddit post what gives them the most upvotes, and that is what's most agreeable with the userbase. People on twatter post what gets them the most likes / shares, and that's again what's most agreeable with the userbase. Both are echo chambers because of that.
If you add a publicly visible personal reward system to 4chan, you end up with echo chambers too because the most agreeable posts are upvoted while the rest appears irrelevant if it doesn't get le funny emoji.

>>105697711
True, I am glad 4chan doesn't have a reward system, now here's your (You).

>>105697795
Other people can't see (You)s, so there's not much point to them. You can't brag with them, and they serve the function of making it easier to see when someone replies to you

>>105697850
youre wrong. kiwifarms for example, null said he added the reaction things because he wanted to get rid of posts that are like "KEK" or "i agree" which is a good thing.

people definitely feel like (You)'s are a reward as well, thats why baiting is a thing. so instead of effort posting, you have people using posting in the most low effort way. posting a picture or something insincere with the soul purpose of getting a reaction, whatever it is.
with a reaction system, someone that posts something informative, that 100 people did read, but it wasnt very provocative, maybe they respond with a common rebuttal to some trash argument that gets spammed all the time. no one is going to bother replying to them noting that theyre right for this and that reason. so the person that effort posts, isnt really rewarded as much as a flyby poster who just shits something out and never engages again.

>>105697850
You're kidding if you think people don't try to optimize posts for getting replies. There's a reason half the posts on this website are low effort bait. It's better than upvotes/downvotes because it doesn't really create an echochamber but the drawback is there are no drawbacks and only rewards for being an attention seeking retard.

>>105697795
getting to say horrible godless people to things for trivial reasons is the reward system

>>105697902

so tired i jeeted out jesus christ

Okay, little fellas. I'm going to let you in on a secret.
You can use emojis in file names and they will be displayed.

Didn't we have that here for April fools one year? Something like it.

>>105697403
>you want people to post more, and post better
These 2 are antithetical to each other in practice. Higher PPH is directly related to lower post quality.

>>105697274 (OP)
Lol

>>105697274 (OP)
You already have reaction images, and we already had this for April fools. Sometimes you can squeeze in PHP emotes, I think.

When you reduce interaction to a simple you take away most of the incentive to write an answer. And if you add the possibility to react negatively like a to something the retards will start abusing it to remove their unwanted opinions.

If you want t react to a post on this fine mongolian basket weaving forum without typing in words use a reaction image, this is an image board after all.

If you need your emotional support glyphs picrel is meant for you.

>>105697274 (OP)
we should also add upvotes and downvotes so thag people know which posts are good or not because democracy is perfect

>>105698689
Pepe is our emoji. Pic related, it's you.

How is this different from a (You)?

>>105698701
We did. It was fairly recently, too. OP must be so giga new and underage.
>>105697274 (OP)
(You)'s ruined this website. Now you have retarded apes being the most obnoxious posters possible solely to farm replies.

>>105702676
>publicly visible

>>105702943
It would only be per post. It wouldn't be a score that you keep around the entire site.

>>105697274 (OP)
I like it when there is an upvote reaction, but no downvote.

So when you write something based, you get upvotes from fellow based people, while the seething majority has to watch.
It is unironically the downvotes that enforce echo chambers, paired with social credits (like the amount of upvotes visible on a profile).

If you only have upvotes per post, that arent connected to anything else, its very great.

>>105702985
Nah in this case they just come up with "ratio'd".
Oh you said something controversial and you only got 2 likes? LMAO WHAT A LOSER

>>105703002
The ratio bullshit happens when replies are ordered by popularity or (((algorithm))) and others get hidden. So you have an active popularity contest.

I am very much convinced that upvotes by themselves are no issue.
Phoronix and some classic forums had that. Only thumbs-up reactions and nothing else.
Phoronix then enabled laughing and thumbs-down as well, and it became way less comfy ever since.
Within a week we got the first tranny cabal of 10 people downvoting everything that is slightly critical of RedHat or its assets.

>>105697274 (OP)
dump.fm did this (not an imageboard) but it was only visible to the poster, like a (You). Sometimes i want to reply to a good joke, but is it worth everyone else time to see my
>KEK
post?
But doesn't anon deserve the feedback that their post was good?
but, wouldn't posting be even worse if there was some incentive?

>>105697335
It did for a day, like 27 years ago.

>>105698185
People don't really use that, I tried making a let's communicate by emojis in filename thread in /tv/ and nobody gave a shit

>>105703302
in like 2007 when all text on /b/ was replaced with ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER people had to communicate with reaction images, constraints breed creativity

>>105697274 (OP)
Just add flags and IDs already

no. this is like good goy reddit points, and will act as a soft peer pressure to silence dissident opinions.

>>105703590
How is it different from (You)'s?

(You) are gay

>>105697274 (OP)
:thumbsup

>>105703618
Are you retarded? Have you been here for like a day or so and never seen the most replied post being the one everyone is calling the poster a faggot?

>>105703618
because it's just a reply, but reaction is an assessment. this acts like a reinforcement learning.

>>105704073
This learning, can this people do it?

>>105697274 (OP)
What do you think a (You) is?

We should make a userscript that just saves this shit in a google spreadsgheet or something.

>>105703590
Exactly.
And it's even worse because it will also encourage trolling since trolls will get a kick out of getting as many negative emoji's as possible.

>>105704850
"trolls" on 4chan are people who got extremely angry at something, so they spend their time trying to make others as miserable as they are.
The good old "im just pretending to be retarded" was always a cope.
Reactions, in a non-retarded way, can be an indicator for how many users there are and prevent trolls from forming in the first place.

>>105697274 (OP)
fucking frog would die if everyone can use cute emoji

>>105697274 (OP)
Anon it's an image board we use reaction images here

>>105697274 (OP)
>>105697335
>Anon reacted with :reddit_frog:

>>105697892
I'd be for it if they didn't count as bumps or posts for the purposes of keeping a alive/up.

emojis are woke
