I'll take ok. That's probably fair. Anyway @northernangel soz if I wound you up. Just sometimes I thought your reason was treason 😘

I assumed NA is an AI posting bot trained on Matt42's post history.

Yeah the green arrows need to stay as another way of praising contribution.

So what's the difference between these 3 

 

Thanks

Like

Upvote

All very similar, are all 3 necessary?

I'd read it as

Thanks - For informative / question answered / etc.

Like - For appreciation / agreement / etc.

Upvote - For anything that doesn't fit into the above.

 

Tbh yeah there's a certain amount overlap within the above. But I don't see that as a problem.

For me Upvote/Like are the exact same thing, the Thanks is as you describe.

You could use a heart emoji on something emotional where an upvote wouldn’t seem quite right . That’s my take anyway

Doesn’t really matter to me! They are all positive emotions, nothing bad. That was the objective I believe 😀

Depends how one uses and interprets the laugh emoji

I think many of us feel different putting a heart on a post to putting an upvote, the former seems more emphatic.

Yeah, I tend to upvote if I agree, but I use like when I actually "like" what is posted (most often in the new music thread). Different sentiments in my head rather then completely interchangeable...no issue with downvotes going though, only ever gave 2 in the 20 years I've been here!

Good point I think I might downvote it 🙂

I just ❤️ you all

Dunno why, could be in my head. Place feels kinder and less intimidating
