EmojiReact vs. Like w/ content?
-
@silverpill @julian
Likeat least has got the advantage to use the existing vocabulary. At Friendica we currently process both but we can't send - exactly because of the problem that we're still undecided which way to go.A problem is that you could send a negative emoji - that would be received as a like (which is normally interpretet as positive) for example on Mastodon. And this can be confusing.
inaccurate representation vs lost signal
I think the former is better for the majority of users. You can also make it an admin setting or even an account setting.
-
@silverpill@mitra.social lost signal only if the UX for both emoji reactions and likes are collapsed.
Otherwise, right signal for the right intent?
-
@julian Regular users don't know what software supports reactions and what software is installed on a remote server. They click on an emoji but the reaction never reaches the other side.

@heluecht @silverpill @technical-discussion @julian pleroma and all the other implementations aint implementing this, so to avoid becoming weird about reactions like misskey you should account for existing software

@silverpill @julian @technical-discussion @heluecht @liaizon very true
-
@liaizon @silverpill @julian Imagine, someone posts that their cat passed away. So you send a
- which then arrives as a "like". I don't think that this would be appropriate.
-
@julian I just had an idea. You could collect a list of emojis that have got a positive meaning. These could be transmitted as
Like, while the other could be transmitted asEmojiReact. -
@silverpill
I think we can use the backend to check whether the remote instance supports emoji reactions. Pleroma and Akkoma can checknodeinfo, Mastodon and Iceshrimp can checkinstance, but as for Misskey, I don't currently know which API to use to find that information.

@julian @technical-discussion @heluecht @liaizon@caohuak No, this path leads to capability negotiation hell.

@caohuak No, this path leads to capability negotiation hell.
@silverpill @caohuak I wouldn't want to go that way either. Especially since our system isn't even created in a way to support this.
