I don’t know, but I definitely don’t like it

I was trying to replace the hearts with something other than a thumbs up, but that’s slightly more difficult.

I’ll change them back and screw with it when I have more time.

I was actually trying for a middle finger, sooooooo

Can I ask what you were thinking of changing the heart into?

dragon_not_found · February 23, 2021, 2:38am

yes

Virgil · February 23, 2021, 2:41am

Don’t know, but we have thousands of options.

Somethingcheeky · February 23, 2021, 2:44am

Cool, gonna make a vote or just narrow it down amongst the mods?

Soviet_Fluffy · February 23, 2021, 2:49am

put it to a community vote

Virgil · February 23, 2021, 2:50am

I think for now we’ll leave them as they’ve been.

if you ever do change them, or really do any other major changes, put it to a community vote. even if it just rubber stamps your decision myself, as well as most people I hope, would much rather have some proactive voice rather then exist under effectively an oligarchy.

the Soviet Union is a prime example of how a perfect idea can fall apart without democracy

there’s a reason I uninstalled all my social media except for this.

Is it possible to add more reactions or is the heart/like the only one possible?

Virgil · February 23, 2021, 12:37pm

Until I find the coders I need to modify our software, we can only have the one reaction.

I like the heart, personally, but I’ve always been an AO3 girl so I might be biased
