Sebastian MalloyI 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.
★ Amy Star ★@sebastianmalloy Misskey and its derivatives (Calckey/Firefish) have this capability. you can actually react with any emoji you want for the occasion. I think Mastodon rejected the proposal to do so because it'd be "confusing" (and probably "not in line with the professional brand" or whatever)
sparrows (doll arc) :flaglesbian::neoamazonia::vriskasip:@AmyZenunim @sebastianmalloy akkoma (pleroma fork) has this as well.
Baseline pleroma has reacts but it limited to unicode emoji, with no instanc ecustom emoji
Rev. Bussy Body of The Church of America MLM and Shooting Club@dangerdyke @AmyZenunim @sebastianmalloy damn, they still haven't added it to upstream pleroma? what's their holdup?
