old threads for friday reading:

Retort (Emotions) now merged into Like

We did an upgrade over the weekend that made “Retort” part of the core discourse platform so now you can like (as always) or you can hover over the like (heart) to Emote in other ways. PS: If there are additional emotions you’d like to be able to convey let me know we can add a few more. I asked for but I was outvoted [image]

Happy Emoji Day

TIL that the calendar emoji is set to World Emoji Day, which is today. Of course, each system can pick its own date so Discourse picks a date in March but your iOS and Android devices will use today. Some researching has revealed that March 21 is Twitter’s founding date, so maybe Discourse uses Twitter’s emojis?

Take/Usage: On a sunny Friday, these emojis are my go-to for dodging work and embracing the chaos. is for when the weekend vibe hits like a love potion. is the Monday dread creeping in early. is me pretending I’m too cool to care while secretly refreshing my inbox. Contextual faves? for watching group chat drama unfold, and when the boss asks why I’m “working” from the beach. What’s your sunny Friday emoji chaos look like?
