Poll: Do you want sticker notifications back? - Not the score, just the notifications.

[Boss Hawg]

It is a feature that I have grown used to as part of my user experience. I like being able to passively see if something I posted is being appreciated by my fellow forum users. I dislike having a feature that I have grown used to nuked from orbit because a few retards got into it with you.

Then it would make more sense to take your problem to the actual people causing it, the faggots making reports about stickers and mass inviting everyone to DMs against their will. Even though the site already had functionality to deal with both of those issues that users refuse to use. But apparently 80% of the site is in the wrong, not the small minority of faggots that actually cause you problems.

I don't report people or clog up talk to staff because my feelings are hurt. I stay loyal to this site even though it's constantly down and broken and for some reason I'm being made out to be the retard for not wanting to be fucked with. I don't appreciate being gaslit for speaking up about valid complaints. Not that you care.

User safety has absolutely nothing to do with withholding posting because people are afraid of criticism. Getting notifications that you have the ability to turn off or getting mean stickers does not make a user more or less safe on this site. This is the same stupid cop-out that the woke play and I am shocked to hear this cognitive dissonance from you.

The reason I like disagreement is that I realized what kind of monster we are capable of creating in society if we are muting the criticism. I also am very upset on Youtube censoring dislikes.

My worthless 2 cents is that stickers might have prevented low-effort posts like "I agree!" or "disagree," people can express a thought without responding. IMO if server load etc isn't a factor then a compromise might be only positive, complementary, or neutral stickers.

Either way, people should appreciate that if it makes null's job/life easier, it's also a good thing. You guys have to realize that if null gets too fucking annoyed at the community he can tell the site to go fuck itself at any time and use his skills a much more profitable way. Managing a "mostly free speech" community is far, far more hellish than intuition would suggest. Don't get under null's skin more than the trannies do, he doesn't have to do this. This entire website runs on his back, not yours, and he has to worry about more than just the userbase itself.

So in other words you're basing your argument on the people in your clique not posting in A&N? Reminder that A&N is one sub forum and probably isn't even the busiest.

Not only that but it's the place that specifically got punished the same exact way for the exact opposite reasons.

Also who gives a shit about the opinions of wignat rednecks in A&N. Just call them retarded niggers and move on. Or spergfight for an hour like a man. I ain't judging.

 

[Scipio Neomericanus]

I don't really have anything to say that hasn't already been said. Sticker notifs were mildly useful and I won't be crying over their removal, but I think it's a bad call. Up to you, though, Josh.

What I do wonder is who complained about it. Say what you will, but people running into DMs because of negative stickies are massive faggots.

I never actually had much of a problem with the dm spergs and mass invites before all this. It was pretty easy to just ignore them and sometimes they're funny. But finding out they're a bunch of crybabies who need to hide from stickers so bad null had a meltdown over it and nuked entire features off his website in the most autistic way possible is both hilarious and maddening at the same time

 

[WelperHelper99]

Are you implying that Null is or should be curtailing expression of sentiment on this site because somewhere some child diddling tranny might kill themselves? Or are you implying we should all be super duper nice to one another because otherwise some mentally fragile faggot with no life accomplishments might get ass mad enough to finally commit sudoku? Because with either one, I don't agree. If someone kills themselves because of negrates, quite frankly that's on them.

You aren't liable if the site goes down because our hosting gets dropped because someone jumped in front of a bus BECAUSE OF YOU. Josh is. His position makes perfect sense.

So in other words you're basing your argument on the people in your clique not posting in A&N? Reminder that A&N is one sub forum and probably isn't even the busiest.

A&N is fucking massive and gets pinged constantly. Shut the fuck up.

 

[i440BX]

Yeah and I was on your side because I also use received ratings to remember which threads I've been looking at recently and I didn't see why people shouldn't be able to get it as a bell note if they wanted, but now my enjoyment over how mad and dumb so many people are getting over stickers has taken the wheel.

I agree there are on both sides very vocal retards. It didn't change my opinion, even if I see the point of the No side. I believe the Yes side has more valid takes.

 

[Boss Hawg]

Once upon a time a hero, an artist, a wholesome kiwi created stickers for the site. Many years later after many changes, the tradition he started is about to get Nulled. He revisited us tonight to give one final stickerless reaction. With this gesture he gave us his blessing to continue stickerless, and assured us that it is okay, and we should have hearts strong enough to let go of the stickers just like he did.

This would be funny if it was gay psyop by Null

 

[Shadfan666xxx000]

I understand that your parents never told you "no" and you throw a shitfit every time something doesn't go your way? Grow the fuck up and learn something new instead of screeching like an autistic child because your wardrobe got moved to the other side of your room. This is such a non-issue that the amount of screeching about it genuinely hints half of you retards have developmental issues.

Shut up. You are an absolute dick rider. You will probably be around 10 years from now, eating bug burgers and getting pissed that people are angry they don't have beef anymore. You're a natural born slave.

>safety is always a concern
>on the same website i come to to watch people hunt down someones address and entire bloodline for fun

Sir. I believe you're having an existential crisis.

See? People think this was post was retarded. My bell thing should be filling up with trash cans.

IT DOESN'T DO THAT ANYMORE. HOW WILL I KNOW WHEN PEOPLE THINK IM RETARDED?

 

[MadDisaster]

Everyone keeps bringing up reddit or X, but wouldn't the main difference be that a forum is linear? It doesn't matter how good or bad your post is; it will remain exactly where it is. Reddit and X push posts/comments based on engagement, which is what builds the idea of false consensus, and a forum doesn't. You can get a million little stickers, but it won't make your post more "special" in terms of visibility.

But I've said before, I just like knowing people read what I post, and found the little sticker notifications useful in that way. It's not a huge deal, but it was nice. Is a wee bit of dopamine on an internet forum because someone liked something you said that terrible?

 

[Flan Handler]

I really don’t follow forum metadrama that much. I just get surprised by the changes and end up confused, trying to figure out why or what changed, if it’s me, something I did or someone else…

I will figure it out but I guess I’ve been using it wrong- I use the watch feature but sometimes don’t get back to a thread before it disappears down the list, and I only have so much time to browse. The notifications remind me of where I’ve been having active conversations at least.

Also, who has their feeling hurt by stickers? Learn to self-regulate your emotions. When I get the dumb or mati stickers, I just shrug, other people can have opinions, thanks for the feedback. Sometimes I am dumb and mad at the internet, it happens.

I wish you all well and hope you have a great day, and once I figure it out I hope to see you out there in the threads.

 

[Paranoia Machine]

All of this over stickers.
What does the Kiwifarms do when the retardation comes from INSIDE THE HOUSE??

 

[gay]

This, plus they are autists having a shitfit over a change to their routine.

i had zero issues about having to use TOR to access the site during the height of this site getting dicked in 2022.

This is such a non-issue

people getting mad about being neg-rated was a non-issue to begin with.

 

[SIMIΔN]

Don't stickers determine which post gets highlighted?

Okay but what if sticker notifications are the only thing keeping someone from jumping in front of a bus?

 

[Dyn]

I agree there are on both sides very vocal retards. It didn't change my opinion, even if I see the point of the No side. I believe the Yes side has more valid takes.

That's fair but I already had my sticker notes turned off so removing them means I personally lose nothing and gain a big hilarious autistic sitewide temper tantrum to enjoy.

Except it doesn't, unless he's somehow compromising after months of maintaining a hardliner free speech stance, which is why I asked you for clarification on what you were implying.

As for A&N, do you have any idea how many of those threads there die out after a few posts? It might be a large subforum but you idiots pretending it's the de facto center of the site tend to all fall in the same category: retards who are more mad about the politics of it and too cowardly to just banter with people and suck it up. Most of the people I've seen actually comment about how they stay out of A&N are still very active in other parts of the site, so I'm not seeing any substance to your claim that we meanie heads in A&N giving out autism negrates were reducing activity on the overall site. We aren't the autism mafia.

 

[BULLY HUNTER_78]

Is he having an autistic tantrum over it, and is it somehow bigger and funnier than the site-wide one going on right now involving dozens of malding spergs who got their dopamine drips shut off?

This is literally worse than when YouTube removed the dislike counter, which in turn was only slightly worse than the Gaza genocide. The only things that could possibly be worse is if Elon decided to remove Twitter "like" notifications or if Reddit stopped tracking updoots and karma.
