I would like to request a “hug” button on Mastodon that I can tap when someone posts something sad or emotionally delicate, for when there are no words and tapping a star seems like a weird thing to do.
@sebastianmalloy : that's actually a good idea. I don't know that it's vastly different from posting a hug gif or a heart emoji (my go-to options) but it might be the beginning of a virtuous cycle.
@ladyteruki I think I’m just kind of looking for a way to normalize being nice to people online, you know?
