This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What is this Heart symbol that I see?
Tooltip says "1 Point".
New feature?

Hearts = upvotes - downvotes, yeah Idk know who would find that useful. Some socials do that.

I see, so I would assume that if a server calculates it, it sends it to others, which then send it to clients in the metadata.

I think this is a client side thing at least it makes more sense to me.

And the fact that only some clients have that may prove it right.

Ok, I just experimented a bit and seems like that's the case.
I probably just didn't look closely at enough comments with both, upvotes and downvotes until now.

Are you using an app? Desktop doesn't have this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Web UI. (I'm actually looking around for what app to choose)

It is not on all comments, only 2-3. I saw it the first time on the comment that started this thread.

Don't choose the app I do as it will soon be discontinued. It has happened 3 times now :(

I recently saw a post regarding a TUI app for it.
Perhaps I'll try that.

Maybe even make one for myself, if the protocol is easy enough.
