The fact that you can see people replying to posts in real time annoys me. It legitimately makes me feel self-conscious. It comes off as petty, but I don’t want to give someone the satisfaction of knowing how long it takes me to hammer out a response! I’d rather they stew and drive themselves mad wondering if I’m going to reply or not. It feels really invasive and awkward
Also, people can see who liked their posts now? As a serial post liker I find this appalling, I feel so exposed. This just reminds me of people on facebook who shamelessly going around liking posts for no reason. I don’t want people to know I’m that person. Sometimes I like posts just to be passive-aggressive, but I don’t necessarily want the person to know its me.
Also, why the hell isn’t there a quote button? I have to MANUALLY copy and paste someone’s response into my post and hit the quotation button? Who has time for that? That’s utterly exhausting. No one asked for this.
For me, I just want to be able to toggle all of the superfluous crap (like all the information under the first post in each thread, want it completely gone; likewise with all of the flagging buttons at the bottom of a thread).
I actually like that we can see who likes posts now. Now if someone says something and I wanna acknowledge that I saw it/agree with them I’ll just like it instead of typing out a post
Would really like a preference option to enable auto quoting in the initial reply. Right now I’m just highlighting things and quoting from there to make things easier.
It’s kind of distracting. I feel like I’m cutting in line or something if I see someone else posting. I think it’s something I’ll get over or maybe if there’s a way to turn it off I will do that lol
You could do what my friend does and type all of it out on a notepad, and then copy and paste it all at once when you’re done.
Yes. Whenever someone likes your post, (which I’m about to do right now) you can go to the top right corner and there will be a notification. It’ll say the person who liked your post, with a heart next to their name letting you know they liked a post of yours. Others won’t be able to see who liked your post specifically though.
Could do what I’ve been doing. Highlight the part of their post with your mouse, (or even on mobile, since I’m doing this on mobile) and release. After you’re done highlighting you’ll see a, “Quote” button which you can click and it’ll format it automatically into a reply.
There is a Quote button. It’s the speech bubble icon at the upper left of your reply window, next to the big B for bold text.
Personally, I only get a few likes now and again, and always kind of wonder who, so I really appreciate knowing.
As for people seeing how long it takes me to find my home keys and hunt & peck out my reply, shrugs doesn’t bother me. But I do get that “feeling conspicuous” isn’t something you choose. I doubt that many are looking - they are probably just trying to type.
Following what I said previously, you could also disconnect from your internet when you’re replying if you don’t want people to know that you’re typing at the time.
Seems a bit of a stretch, and I don’t care if people know if I’m typing, but hey, if that’s what you want to do you can.
