Should sticker notifications be brought back?

Right, but I mean group replies specifically, seems odd to have secret threads on this forum especially.
The thread for the DM spam might explain what some of its use was. A lot boiled down to OP coordination, people being worried about reactions killing the conversation if uninterested users saw the conversation happen elsewhere and TMId, fear of being indexed in searches, and some weird shit about discussing a hobby so niche it might dox you.

And if you skim the highlights now you'll be able to see Nool's disgust manifest when the reaction score broke and he immediately got panicked reports and the sticker shitshow began. Hell of a chain reaction.

"I don't care about stickers on my old posts but I love seeing notifications about stickers on my old posts."
??????????? :story::story::story::story:

I changed my mind I'm voting against them. This is a mind-boggling level of self-contradictory retardation that needs to be purged from the Farms.
One day when you are older you will see someone rate something you said ages ago and think "hmm, I wonder what I said back in those Halcyon days that warranted a snappy doot upon someone seeing it in the present?"
 
I think it may indicate new users. at least ones who joined in 2024.
For example, Seedling joined in 2024 but so did this user:

I am giving you a ❤️ for your predicament, but if I could, I would have given you a 🍇, which may mean "great", "rape", or both. I am still undecided.
I would give you a Null's love for your empathy and consideration, however since its been taken away i am only able to provide with the next closest sticker that best represents my current mental state of absolute abject terror as i fight my forum AIDS.
As a compromise here's a bootleg Null's love Nullslove-smol.png
 
I'm honestly not sure if Null is genuinely not understanding this point, or is too angry to bother giving a shit.
He's too stubborn to cave in
I just want the highlight feature to stay, it’s very useful for skimming threads. Don’t care too much about stickers past that personally
You will read the thread as the lord above intended- start to finish- and you will love it

The solution is the make threads where reactions are non-existent for personal things like the off topic board for that style of discussion. Theres no risk to the user of posting a dumb or unpopular opinion or observation.

Based on the furry group DM drama, it looked like people were just creating virtual goon caves to talk about their femboy fetish. They're not exactly the kind of user you want cater to and should scare off. This forum is not an open air asylum to talk about your intimate personal issues, go to reddit or discord for that.

I remember I started becoming active during the time the Autistic Thunderdome was restricted to six stickers, but that disappeared about seven months after?
:thinking: I think this was a decision that dear feeder made without influence, it just randomly happened one day. Not sure if it counts.

Sucks that a pretty useful feature got axed over all this, but it is what it is.
I really do think that the death of the Farms will not be from outside sources, but from Josh eventually having such a massive spergout that he either kills the site himself or makes such a terrible change that people start leaving en masse. These meltdowns towards the userbase are becoming more common. I understand he must be under unimaginable stress right now, so it makes sense that he cracks sometimes, but it's concerning. This could've all been avoided if he just didn't do anything. I don't even think the DM chains were that big of an issue, just leave. They won't invite you back unless you have a massive hissy fit and at that point that's just funny.

Say exactly what you want to say without internally hemming and hawing over a notification-controlled dopamine hit. I am frowning at these posts.
I already do, but I want to determine activity in a thread and I want actual feedback for my posts, it wasn't just "MMMMM NOTIFS MAKE MY BRAIN FEEL GOOD". I already felt good looking at my posts because they were real shit 💯

Another complaint I just came up with, sometimes with watch thread, you open the notification but then you actually forget to check the thread, and then you stop getting notifications completely for the thread. The sticker notifs where sort of a backup for that.
 
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.
