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

[SacredChao]

Yes, I want them back. I agree that there is a danger, that it turns people into updoot addicted redditors, high on dopamine. But without it, expect lots of one word replies fouling up the threads. It's a tradeoff.

Is anyone even using it for that? Who? You can get high on dopamine by trolling and making people mad at you or say controversial things for the sake of it. Or use any social media. You can do it in 5 seconds on 4chan.

Who's actually coming here just to see what's liked or disliked on their post? Even if they were, nobody would know. You're not gonna fix someone who has an endless need for validation from doing that by removing a sticker. Not that I think most people were even doing that to start with. And if they do have problems like that then they should seek some kind of help. Get a better self image or touch grass or any number of things. Coming here just with no sticker responses probably isn't gonna be the fix for them.

I'm not so sure I want you people making low quality posts in random threads just so you get sticker notifications reminding you to go back. I'm warming up to this even more, I think. Lurk more.

Here I am, giving out "likes" and "agrees" like a retard, when nobody will see them..

Funny how the ratio swung back from 92:8 to what it is now.

Everybody. That's the point of upvotes and sticker notifications and the like. These things were introduced to avoid tons of "agree", "this", "yass queen", and "kill yourself" replies.

And unfortunately people are prone to care too much about whether other people likes or agrees with them. It turned reddit into, you know... reddit.

I don't even care about the Kiwi Karma, I just want to at the very least have the option to opt-in to get sticker notifications. I don't post very frequently and when I do, it's spread out over threads with varying levels of activity. I don't have enough interest in every single thread I read to watch it.

It's also an easy way to show your sentiment towards a post without wasting a reply on "I agree with this" or "no, this is fucking retarded". If I give a genuine take on something and I get a puzzle piece or a top hat, it makes me go "okay, but why?", which usually leads to questions and engagements around the clashing viewpoints. It's also a fun little game of mine to get a paragraph or two into an essay post and guess if it's going to get trashcanned or not.

Everybody? Well not me for starters. It was interesting to see what people thought. But it's not like reddit. Posts don't get hidden due to a low score for example. There was no hugbox there. And do people care if someone likes or agrees or even disagrees? Probably. That's the point of a forum. We come here to discuss things and in some way socialize. It's a conversation.

And as you said it was helpful for people who wanted to show agreement with a post. I've liked posts that say basically what I want to say anyway. Instead of just coming in to reply to one comment several pages back with the same old thing someone else just said already.

Some people will care too much. I've no doubt that those people do exist. Aren't they the people we laugh at for taking the internet too seriously or being idiots? I didn't think this was a group that was catered to. By this logic I'm sure half the topics of these threads feel afraid of posting or don't like it. Are we going to consider their feelings as well? Or when anyone else comes here being offended? Maybe Null should add in a timer. So this way people don't stay up too late on the site, since they're such dopamine fiends they just can't help but incessantly check their e-points. So maybe we should better accomodate these people who allegedly have no self control.

I didn't think it was necessary or a priority to coddle people from the repercussions of what they post freely online. If you say stuff online in a public space someone somewhere is gonna disagree. You have to know that. It's the entire content of the site.

Sticker notifications should be returned back to how they used to be. They serve as a skill filter, if you can't figure out how to disable them, you should consider yourself retarded and your imminent regression to a glorified redditor obsessed with score points will be your punishment.

What I miss even more is join dates, the number and especially the color is a good hint as to whether or not you should take a post seriously before you even read it, it's annoying that now you have to click the name.

Git rid of them! I 'ate them!

When I post in the Israel thread they gang rape me like a British tourist in cyprus with negative reactions so I have to go back through every post every reactor has ever made and react negatively to every one of them.

This takes hours of my life! I dont have time for that shit.

 

[Flaming Dumpster]

redditors

tbh kinda sick of the reddit comparison. reddit's binary up/down system influences the weight of the post with default sorting whereas there's no weight here and posts with large numbers of negative reactions get highlighted as well as well received posts.

ergo being dogpiled on by the community makes the post more visible whereas on reddit, it just vanishes. it is not comparable

 

[make_it_so]

I'm honestly ok with the score being gone. But I used the notifications frequently to navigate the farms. Either we get some sort of notification back or watched threads gets overhauled.
Example: I will not watch this thread. I am not generally interested in it. But if I get a sticker notification I'll probably click on it and read some posts.

Clearly, this means you have an internet dopamine addiction and/or are too retarded to use the site correctly.

At least, that's what Dear Feeder and others in the thread have been telling me.

If there's one thing this thread has proved, it's that people will still leave massive amounts of stickers even with user scores and sticker notifications removed. lol

The notification just makes me miss my Dad more. Thanks Hitler.

high on dopamine

Again, all internet users of every communication platform are "high on dopramine", if you didn't get a dopamine rush from posting on this website you wouldn't use it. Hell if using the internet didn't give people dopamine rushes it wouldn't be as popular and would probably still just be a tool used by computer scientists
