You're The Cause of Our Stress - Forum Data Analysis

[Psyvacy]

You’ve very badly misunderstood both the original post and the subsequent discussion.

@misterstrange774

You’re letting yourselves get worked up over emoji reactions?

No, they’re noting an overall emotional trend, and using emoji reactions as a crude proxy to try to understand any underlying trends. The approach is flawed (though not fatally), but the attempt is laudable.

@misterstrange774

And what’s worse is you’re blaming another user (Blankspace) over what’s clearly a personal issue.

That’s what psychologists call “a joke”. They’re very new, you might not have heard of them before.

@misterstrange774

So now people on this forum have to police themselves on reaction emojis because it might offend someone?

Literally nobody even remotely suggested this.

@misterstrange774

If seeing negative emojis offends you, perhaps that’s a sign you need to step away from the internet for an hour or two.

If seeing a month-old post makes you do a long respond where you insult everyone involved with patently false claims, maybe you’re the one who needs a break?
