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

[The Last Stand]

You know, I cannot for the life of me understand why social platforms would outright REMOVE social features from their ecosystem to "curb toxicity." This thread just proved why the feature itself is a necessity in a forum environment, Why make something as simple as leaving/reading feedback complicated when the standard has been met and set since its inception?

Everything wrong with the site down to its community infighting is self inflicted from impulse, lack of human moderation and outright spite against its own supporting community. I have a hunch this would be backtracked over time. Time will time. I still don't know what triggered the removal of stickers notification and reaction score. FWIW, it's likely not my place to ask without consequence.

WHERE ARE MY STICKERS I NEED TO EAT 100 OF THEM IN AN ALLEY LIKE SHOENICE I NEED TO GET MY RUSH

 

[Minus One]

I love seeing null bicker with his own community its so funny and also reassuring in a way. I'm used to seeing owners kinda just ignore their users and take on a more impartial role so its nice to see one that's actively engaged in discussion, shows he cares : )

To throw my own hat in the ring I don't think removing the notifications and score or whatever will encourage the dm dwellers to come out since chances are they got to that point by constantly saying stupid shit and getting laughed at by everyone, the score being removed wont make them any less retarded... buttt it is what it is who gives a fuck lol its just a number.

would be funny now if jersh made the main homepage into a infinite loop of videos of black man kissing

Put some work in to get it, feels better that way.

What do you think people are doing when they write an entire essay of a thread that gets hundreds, or even thousands, of updoots and reacts? Yet you want to deprive them of this reward, and kill all incentive to post! In the attention based economy of the internet, you are like an illiterate communist. Actually no you're even worse than that, you're like Paul Krugman

All activity online is powered by dopamine, it is the fuel that keeps all online traffic flowing, to see it as an enemy is a fatal mistake. Everything you do online: playing games, reading articles, watching videos, posting on social media/forums/imageboards, jewsh getting shekels on stream, ALL of this is dopamine generating activity. If the product didn't make people feel good, they wouldn't use it.

Really enjoy seeing my sticker collection right on the homepage.

Turned my react notifs off the first day I joined so I have no dog in this fight. As long as I can continue depositing Horrifying and Lunacy stickers in the Stinkditch, my experience will remain largely unchanged in my short time here.

people enjoyed the UX a certain way

I enjoyed when I could put YouTube embeds in chat, then got upset when that was no longer possible and adapted to the change. The core issue is right here, people don't want change and refuse to adapt.

This "certain way" can be easily replaced with other existing forum functionality and it's not hard to do. But if the bitching persists then it'll be obvious that people primarily used them for dat dopamine.

But right now no one wants to say why they used those notifications and no one wants to discuss it, people just want to be mad and insult everyone.

I think this should be the threads theme.

Here’s the thing, I kinda know who my friends are - or build up a picture of what attitudes different users have based on those notifications. I know that sounds lame. But take for example one of the war threads. I have a certain set of opinions and I know exactly the two or three other users who share them, or back me on a point, or disagree on this one without wasting space and detracting from serious discussion.
Comradeship, in a way. For me it is one of the core elements of the site.

Yeah, and its not like I hate the users who negrate me. Hey @Vecr @The Foxtrot want to get into the flame war?

 

[1Tonka_Truck]

This started because I received feedback from multiple users that they prefer to post in fucking retarded DM chains specifically because they don't want negative feedback on their posts. They have been discouraged from using this webforum as a forum because they do not feel safe to post as a result of these incessant notifications and looming persistent scorecard ratings

Stickers worked exactly the same in DMs including reaction score and notifications. You are describing users that can't use kiwi farms without self-segregating into hugboxes. If the tiny hat merchants and the garbage can collectors of the farms can't handle stickers in public threads, do you honestly believe they can handle a reply breaking down exactly how they earn their stickers?

 

[gagabobo1997]

Starting a site civil war over stickers. Love you kiwifarms

 

[CoolFool]

No one is going to migrate to sharty over this because we're literally back to the same meta of farming (you)s. If anything, people will migrate to Reddit over this.

Did you miss the part where I said no one will be leaving over this? The less engagement won't be from people leaving, and I don't think it will have a huge impact on the site, I just foresee less engagement overall due to ADHD speds forgetting about threads and posting less.

Dude, I barely remember the time I was a janny. It was such a meaningless blip, basically making me a mod to solve a single tiny issue in a dead part of the forum where I was only needed as a translator. I don't feel mad about it because it really was fucking insignificant, me becoming a janny was excessive. A single DM exchange would've sufficed.

And like, this entire thread is insanely autistic and solves absolutely nothing. Null isn't gonna do shit because he already did something and everyone lost their minds to the point where they're forgetting why they're mad. It even seems like the pandemonium is getting so bad people genuinely think adding stickers is disabled.

Read through what you've posted here a week later and maybe then it'll be clear. Sperg posting is much like doing dumb shit when drunk, you only realize how dumb it was after you sober up.


What I don't understand is why is it such a big deal that they got globally turned off. They're useless, there are better ways to keep track of threads, you can still view your sticker history, and the only real harm it did is that it took away dopamine boosters from the spergs that are pissing and shitting themselves in this thread.

1. Cope. I remember you laughing about it in chat a week later. Still why do you make excuses for null acting like a ragepig lol. So sorry you sperged out on me null sama! nbd that you can't go more than a month without turbosupermegasperging on someone or a whole subforum or the whole forum because you're a super passive super aggressive weirdo
2. There aren't more convenient ways to keep track. I cry for my lost split second saved. Big salty tears
3. I'm not sperg posting about it nyah nyah you big poopoopeepee head

There is a possibility the site logo may be changed to Sticker Farms temporarily.

I don't really have an issue being negrated and I don't go out of my way to appeal to what will result in more stickers. In fact, I'm sure being indifferent to this and critical of the dominant opinion in the thread will prove as much. The safe space argument strikes me as odd and a bit oxymoronic, but with that said, I really couldn't give less of a fuck about being notified the 100th person found the content I posted horrifying (as intended) or agreeable. Someone said in here that the average user doesn't get a lot of reactions and I just gotta say, who fucking cares? Post better then? Branch out from posting in slow threads? When you get spammed so many times you just stop caring. In other words, after using the site for awhile, unless you're wired around the dopamine hits, you either ignore or disable them. The only thing I've really used push notifications for is when someone quotes my post, which is a direct engagement with what I've said. If someone rates your post dumb or agree then you check the thread and what? "Yep yep, I sure did make a good post that those four people agreed with." I know not everyone is that autistic, but it seems a fair amount of users definitely do that.
