Which reacts count as likes?

Jakeys · Dec 16, 2025

Just a thought, and this is really not very important but I thought I'd mention it anyway... I don't think laugh reacts should necessarily count as likes. I've laugh reacted at dumb posts before, I'm sure others have as well, and I've just noticed these count as likes. Out of curiosity I tried a facepalm react and that doesn't count so I guess I'll just change my behaviour to use that one when I think a post is so stupid it's funny.

Again, this is incredibly low stakes, and I'm opening myself up to some facepalm reacts, I acknowledge that. But still, should a laugh always be a like? 😜

Maybe a facepalm should decrement the like total. 🤔

What about a "thus is bullshit' button?

I simply think of them as alerts, not likes.
It's not like trying to score more likes on Farcebook.

If another member thinks my post is good and gives it a 👍, all good.
If another member thinks my post is crap and gives it a 😡, all good.

Yeah I would never have noticed except when I laugh reacted the guy today complaining Omega's marketing images were on a slight angle, his likes went from 0 to 1 and I was like... wait... am I indicating I support this guy here?

Ultimately you're right I'm not an e-points guy, I just thought it was mildly noteworthy.

I didn’t realise that these emojis 🤪😜 represented laughs.
I always thought they indicated that the post or poster a bit weird, as in 'weird shit'.
Perhaps I need to learn how to use or apply emojis 🤔
