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

[Friend of Dorothy Parker]

Another part of the problem is it encourages people to keep posting in threads even when nothing particularly interesting is happening with the cow like a common complaint in the rekieta thread is how gay it gets when he doesn't stream for a few days and it's because people can't just ignore a thread for a few days and then come back to it because they don't even check their watched thread list they rely on sticker notifications and if they aren't getting any stickers then how could they possibly know the thread is moving? And they need that constant influx of entertainment from their favorite cow because their brains are broken.

I would think that any amount of retards doing that to get stickers is matched (imo, dwarfed ) by people just catching up or bored or re-annoyed by or new to Rekieta (or whoever) in general.

As a side note the reactions received doesn't have the handy red circle indicating you haven't seen it yet. Also, with the notifications and number of unseen on the bell, you also knew when there weren't reactions, so no clicks needed! Sigh, old ways were efficient ways.

I've known @Null for over a decade now. He is a pretty reasonable person. He puts up with shit until it becomes too much of a hassle for him to deal with and has quite a bit of patience before something gets to that point. He likely is sick of dealing with the autism surrounding sticker notifications and honestly I can't say that I blame him

100% Null has a LOT of patience (until the tipping point, lol).

But most people aren't driven to tears or suicide-baiting or bitching about seeing neg ratings, are they? (Other than legit [relatively speaking] complaints about retards who go through and neg rate a hundred of someone's comments because they are (possibly literally) children; most forums do discourage that.).

So it seems that it's the people who are problematic for other reasons who are also the annoying complainers. And now the whole class has to stay inside for recess! That's OK; we can color instead.

personally i think sticker notifications are just spam and clutter, they shit up the notification feed and make it near useless so i have them disabled
but i guess people who use the site less feel differently
like when you make one post a week then it's probably nice to get these "senpai noticed your post uwu" notifications every once in a while

I admit I am amused getting a notification that once again certain posters rated a comment of mine mati/dumb even when I agreed with them. I'm not even kidding: It's funny in its stupidness and also because the notification clashed with my zero-inbox rule and made me look.

it's not about the content of posts, it's literally all about the actual reaction score. a mean post is a mean post, but eventually it'll be forgotten about

but a negative or low reaction score means that you have shitty, unpopular opinions and it's a constant reminder that you suck

But if you suck you should be reminded of that. :-)

disclaimer: the above are meant to be on-topic comments in a discussion thread about stickergate, not arguing the decision. I get the theory of the change and will survive, even though I appreciated the feature as it made engagement in a very large site a little more efficient to use.

the fact that furries and hurt feefees faggots succeeded at winding him up

From what he posted here https://kiwifarms.st/threads/poll-do-you-want-sticker-notifications-back.185354/post-17894826 it feels more like the furfags (and everything that happened in the Catler thread) were the final straw. Faggots have been complaining for so long that it just made more sense to make a significant change. That's it.

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" notification

i think now its the time to finally make that Farms subreddit now

 

[GenociderSyo]

Yea its shit that a dopamine rush is gone, but the fact of the matter is it in no way stops us from doing what we came here to do which is a speak about cows and what we think without worry of being banned or ran off like on reddit, etc. With the shit Null's done to keep the site online for all of us users if he wants to see if this fixes a problem he's seeing why not let him try he already has listened to people stating that it was important to see positive/negative when people who weren't sperging out brought it up.

Personally, I dislike having my notifs blow the fuck up over retards sperging about a post I made months ago. It makes everything easier to navigate without paying attention to every little thing going on in a conversation you were only paying half attention to.

Much like the great cheese debate our dear feeder Null has been BTFO and his autism laid bare.

Nigga can u read

Dislike

Terrible idea. The sticker notifications and reaction scores encouraged effortposting.

It was also just nice to be able to see what people thought of my posts, positive of negative, without the extra effort of tracking the thread myself.

I understand that some drama and sperging must have made Null very upset, but from the perspective of someone who hasn't followed the drama, it just seems like a key feature of the forum has been removed for no reason.

I see the only genuine usefulness of stickers being this:

1. Seeing the general community sentiment of a post you make. Check the post 24-48 hours after it's made and see reacts. It will only get more of the same as time goes on, so there's no need to know about it and more stickers on it after this point are irrelevant.
2. So other people reading the thread, especially newfags, can see the community's opinion and understand what is and isn't tolerated on the Farms. This helps readers understand the community and shapes the forum's culture. Stickers made later in time still give weight to this.

If it isn't too difficult a patch to the code could be a fair compromise:
New users get sticker notifications until they make 50 or so posts. At 50 posts send them a notification that no more sticker notifications will be given, and if they want to see reacts they can check the relevant page. (So they don't get confused and think it just broke for some reason.)

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.

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..

You just have to be creative in letting them know

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

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.

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.

though I've made all years other than the year I joined white, so that doesn't really matter for me.

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.

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

I vote no just to cause chaos.

I will never stop.

I just want to laugh at retards for my "dopamine hit" while being told offhandedly while looking at multiple threads that another thread is still active.

While also keeping tabs of multiple slowburning threads that usually gets spicy when I'm offline.

While also replying to people in a concise method at mobile because I'm not going to start typing tirades while shitting at work. Also mean sticker reactions funne

Now I'm being told I have to manually do all of this because the method I was doing is wrong while getting yelled at about internet points I didn't even know was a thing until now.

Which I'm apparently not supposed to get confused about at best, MATI at worst because telling people why they're doing what they're doing in the middle of them telling you why is retarded. Also something about efficiency?

And all of this because a bunch of furries ERP'ing doesn't feel safe from my very dangerous autistic puzzle piece gun that does literally nothing.
Ok?

I've also noticed people using stickers a LOT less now so the efficacy of an already wonky feature like highlights is even wonkier because of how few people use it. Or maybe people don't visit outside their comfort zones to different threads anymore.

But it's still too early to tell if this is temporary or not cuz muh dopamine.

Please calm down.

Before doing anything else, just remember that everyone on this site has an attention span of 4 seconds max. This means that you could literally revert the site back to how it was in January and these bozos will forget and, thus, forgive.

Removing stickers is an objectively bad move.
Inb4 "reddit".

Cope.

Inb4 "faceberg".

Seethe.

We're here for you, Null. Take your two weeks vacation now, because I'm not sure if you're going to war with your site to create buzz for the site or because you mean it, but I sense something bad coming.

Tl;dr: Zoom out and look at the bigger picture, and breathe easier when you do.

OBJECTIVELY, JOSHUA

eat shit and die twitching you fucking addicts

lol calm down

oh no


more proof none of you brainrotted updoot retards can follow a conversation. highlights will function just fine and probably better without sticker farmers gunning for headpats. it's already relative; less bullshit means more focus on worthwhile posts

It forces users to be better and prioritize things that matter to the community more than their continuous stream of notifications. Plenty of people ITT have mentioned seeing a bunch of reaction notifications makes them feel good. That becomes the incentive, rather than being a good, contributing poster. Low impulse control dopamine seeking doesn't make for a good forum. Many people lurk without posting, many without accounts. This change is an objective improvement for them.

Fuck convenience and fuck not sitting down for hours to read every page of a thread that you're only passably interested in I guess?


Not really. If every post only has like <5 reactions, that just means more random shit is going to get highlighted, not less.

Idc tbh

But this forum does. And the stickers were originally introduced to stop people from shitting up threads by just saying "I agree" over and over.

and also

Can we just get all things back to how they were and you faggots grow the fuck up

They're not if you have the two braincells needed to adapt to alternative options. You can watch threads and get notified whenever someone posts in them. You can get notified when someone replies to you. If you want to keep track of your stickers it's two clicks away, and it's meant to incentivize using all the other forms of following threads, which are designed with forums in mind, to focus on the content of the messages and not the minimal feedback under them.

You wouldn't though, because you're a gang of pussies scared to death of receiving a picture of a hat, hence collectively incapable of processing somebody being mean to you online about your transparent self-serving sophistry once robbed of your one tool.

I liked using it as a way to track threads I've posted in. It was a way to let me know that the thread was still active and to peruse it. Wasn't even really aware that they awarded points or that people tracked those points. I think simply just removing the active tracker of score would've been a better option but I can understand why it's been removed if people were abusing it. I'll just learn to use the site in a different way if they're not coming back.

You can use this quote notification as a one-time trick to find this post of yours.

You in particular are such a pathetic queer. I hope you're autistic and I hope this change really genuinely upsets you. I want to step on your thing and break it in front of you. I cannot fucking believe how fucking gay you are. It's like listening to Wingsofredemption dog whimper over CoD trolls. It spins my sympathy all the way around to contempt.

So don't fucking lecture me that I'm taking away a beloved feature with no downside. I want to fucking strangle you fucking faggots. I've been dealing with you dumb mongoloid pieces of shit and your fucking sticker fetish for over 5 fucking years and I am done. No more notifications. Figure out something else.

Not to worry, it's happening.

it's null's forum, so ultimately he gets to call the shots on user experience.

even if it is negatively received.

"because fuck you, that's why"

is what i'd imagine he'd say

I find it incredibly frustrating that furries and hugbox DM faggots have turned Null antagonistic towards people who were happily using his site and not arguing with him on monday.

I just want to sneed in peace. No more brother wars.

It's sad how insecure DM dweebs ruin things for the rest of us.

None of it matters though since ultimately what is good for Null is good for the Kiwi Farms.. You are the operator of it so this is understandable regardless of what others may feel, be they for or against the feature. Those who really don't like the change will stop posting or contribute less, those who want to go on will simply adapt.

And adapt we shall.

Yea its shit that a dopamine rush is gone, but the fact of the matter is it in no way stops us from doing what we came here to do which is a speak about cows and what we think without worry of being banned or ran off like on reddit, etc. With the shit Null's done to keep the site online for all of us users if he wants to see if this fixes a problem he's seeing why not let him try he already has listened to people stating that it was important to see positive/negative when people who weren't sperging out brought it up.

What's next, amazon gets rid of ratings entirely? They're mostly fake anyway, so that might not be that bad.. I guess. Hey, get rid of movie ratings on imdb too. The net's going insane I guess.

Honestly, I think Null should bring back the "join date" but keep sticker notifs and count off. I want to know if I'm talking to, say, a based newfag or some "I'll die on this hill before ever admitting I'm wrong" oldfag like, say, the Hulkster.
