Firstly, they de-valued upvotes and the equality that every user’s opinion had before they were introduced.
And secondly, they were so abundant that they didn’t mean anything anyway.

  • Do you think you’d hate them less if they were all free like the reactions on discord (and so wouldn’t set aside payers from free users)? I lowkey think it was Reddit trying to make me feel jealous of the people paying that made me hate them.

    • yes, but also no, they were all sparkly and obnoxious and I didn’t know what a single one of them meant. There’s a standard set of emoji for a reason lol (even if it’s been augmented by a bajillion custom emoji that 50% of popular servers implement at least 10-25% of).

      Has any discord server implemented any emoji for a single discord award? Genuine question cos like I said I don’t recognize a single one so I wouldn’t know if I came across one.
