The moderators didnt raise any objections to you being a moderator, the next step would be to put your nomination up to the community for comment. After we hear community comments we will make a final decision and in that time you can begin learning the ropes and showing how you'd behave as a moderator (help us welcome people, contribute to discourse discussions, etc).

At that point if the community and us still like what we see we will give you moderator privileges on a probationary basis, and then shortly after that youll be a full moderator if all goes well.

Years ago a YouTube rep told me there was a “bug” on my channel causing people to unsubscribe. When we inquired further the person told me they were leaving the department and to use the generic support email. We then got no further response. twitter.com/lutherlowe/status/ … twitter.com/RubinReport/status

Why does Twitter let Donald Trump post any slanderous made-up rubbish he wants, but bans others for far, far less ? I guess if you attract traffic, you have a very different (read:no) rule book. Also - what happened to the defamation laws ?

@realcaseyrollins Not soon, but eventually yes I think so.

It would try to encourage people to use a limited set of emoji, but would give people the freedom to customize it.
After using emoji reacts in soapbox-fe for a few days, I have some thoughts about changes I'd like to make in future versions:

- All reacts to a post should be displayed. I tried to filter only an "allowed" list of emoji, but I think the others shouldn't be hidden. Instead, it should display the 4 highest reacts (sorted by count) and then combine all others into a "more" category that can be seen in detail on hover/click.

- Users should be able to customize the reacts in their selector. The default emojis should be customizable by the server admin. There should maybe even be a vertical ellipses (⋮) button to access more options in the selector. However, the default should be universal and very good.

- I'm torn on whether soapbox-fe should restrict only one react per user. I think it makes more sense this way (reacting to a post with multiple emotions seems excessive), but it's not the way Pleroma actually works, and using third party apps which allow multiple reactions creates discrepancies in the UI. At the very least I think I need to display it better if the user has reacted with multiple emoji. I've considered hacking an "emoji replace" endpoint in Pleroma so I don't have to unreact when making a new react.
