I’m not talking about #metoo stuff.
Assuming we’re using a sane IM app that lets us use standard emoji as a reaction to a comment.
I just mean when someone tells you that they did something and the only information that you want to convey back is that you followed them and did the same.
More concrete example that i encounter few times a week: my pal tells me he’s reserved the gym slot at 17:00, so I reserve that time too and i just want to reply “me too” to let him know it worked for me. (The way it works between us is that we want to go together but since he’s got family etc. i always let him pick the time first and just announce his slot reservation, and i just want to confirm it.)
Another example is if someone says “i signed this petition to support our Czech president who is protecting our democracy” then I want to say “yes I did it too”. Just a nod that we’re standing on the same side.
(Come to think about it, it could technically be used in a #metoo adjacent context, like, if a friend told me “i was abused by my boss” and i could just use the emoji but that would be sooooo wrong on so many levels… You get the point.)
No I’m suggesting each individually as an option. Unfortunately I don’t know if an app that does multiple reactions from one person.
iirc slack did it and I’m sure github issues and gitlab too. but usually you don’t have control of the order, IIRC with slack it was in the urder you added them but once more people added same reactions then it would sort them in order most to fewest.
i was kinda thinking about one of those parts of unicode where characters can be combined … that’s common for some scripts but i vaguely recall that i saw a mention somewhere that something like that exists also for emojis (in the unicode) …
