@eevee i renamed it to "florp" on my instance as a nod to cybre.space which first renamed "favorite" to "florp" and used this icon

@eevee the source is open, the power is yours

@eevee the opposite direction would be that you can only have one favorite post ever.
Enjoy would be much better though.

@eevee *checks specification*
Unfortunately “Enjoy” isn't listed in the Activity Vocabulary: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#activity-types
You'd need to add a custom activity type for proper server to server enjoyment.

But it's an outrageous omission!

@jnv @eevee yeah but you could change the UI to say enjoy 😊
Show threadJanNov 18, 2022
@luhem7 @eevee
expired: change the UI of a local instance
tired: upstream the change to the server software
wired: create a custom protocol extension
inspired: change the standard

Why stop there. Randomize it every time it happens! Nobody knows what it means anymore, but it sure is saying... something.

@eevee I "enjoyed" this post
Show threadchris martensNov 18, 2022
@eevee maybe pedantic but I want a verb that’s more like “express joy”. I refuse to equate my feeling joy with expressing that feeling to a human or server 😌

@chrisamaphone @eevee If we only get one button for this I feel like "appreciate" is the most broadly useful word: it applies to situations that are not enjoyable but still important. Too bad it's such a long word and hard to fit into UIs.

@eevee @johnnesky IMPORTANT UPDATE: i learned in the last few hours that favs don’t sync across servers? So that may explain some of the discrepancy you’re seeing

@chrisamaphone @eevee
When I first started on Twitter it struck me as very odd that just clicking a button was supposed to convey an emotion. Emotions aren't buttons.

I got used to it over time, maybe even slightly addicted, but it's still weird when I actually stop to think about it.

@eevee My preference would be "nod". I don't "enjoy" people saying they're hurting, but I can nod.
