@djoerd @rasmus Ha, I didn't know t没t meant kiss in Frisian, that's nice to know :) (Tagging the author of #tut as well). I suppose it has various meanings in various languages (like 褌褍褌 in Russian is a very common word meaning "here")

@proycon @djoerd @rasmus the reason I went with tut is because it means toot in Swedish :)

Ohh I like the different color variations 馃樆
For a long term #tut user I never considered that this would be an added value for visibility. But it sure is 馃憤

@toxision Thanks! My main objective here (and with the symbols) was to help increase the signal to noise ratio, making it easier to identify posts worth checking with on a single glance.
