the comment that prompted this post was this one by @Codex404 "The next time I take water I will think that I could have chosen a beer if I liked drinking alcoholic beverages"
pretty confusing and funny -
Hmm 🤔 those reaction buttons have been around on Facebook for a while now already. Never been really fond of them, but they do seem to unclutter posts quite a bit. Speaking of clutter, it'd be awesome to have nested replies. Every now and then I see and have in my own rants comment sections that go into long discussions. Currently I really don't like that as it reduces the signal-to-noise ratio significantly. But with nested replies to accommodate for that, the main thread would at least remain somewhat clean. 🤔
Finally reached it
Found this on reddit!
Looks like these people should join devRant!
I wished there was a lmao button, because sometimes a post/comment makes you laugh your socks off or is very clever, but a ++ won't just do it.
and you also don't want to reply with a "that's hilarious", because
a) it's non-content thus not something that others than OP would ever want to read
b) on the internet, compliments are usually interpreted as sarcasm
but such thing would also degenerate quickly into a troll tool, eg, a user posting an opinion in a serious manner, and other users spamming that lmao button...
so maybe not exactly a lmao button, but something similar, like medium's clap (although I think 50 claps per user is a bit too much).
