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

Since this whimsical post, I’ve been vaguely pondering how people perceive the reaction emojis. Its not something I ever gave much thought ot before.

I’m curious how people perceive (and use), :heart: vs :+1: specifically.

In my mind:

  • :heart: expresses appreciation, or supportiveness, sometimes vague friendliness, and often but not necessarily agreement. (I somewhat regularly <3 something that I don’t fully agree with if I think its well reasoned, thoughtful, or high quality)
  • :+1: more specifically expresses agreement, or support for an idea/pov.

How do others use or perceive the difference?
