So many cool posts about #emacs recently but I am not sure the microblog UI is the best for them. Ideally, I wish we could group AP actors to announce any activity by a certain hashtag, so they could become posts in something like #lemmy instead.
In the meantime, how do I get more of this emacs conversation on @emacs ?
@sping
Your whole premise falls short for one reason: you can *dislike* a post on microblogging UI. Reaction emojis are a thing. How is a bunch of thumb-downs different from a bunch of downvotes?
I had no idea you could do that - I was thinking of Mastodon. I don’t see that as an option and don’t see any emojis on posts there. Where do you have in mind?
It would weaken my point, but there is no algorithmic weight attached to it. You can’t sort by how many negative emojis are attached.
@sping I was talking in the general case, but you are right that Mastodon doesn’t have it. Sharkey/IceShrimp and family does, though.
