@rolle I've thought about that, but I feel like it would be toxic on a microblogging platform. On a forum-like platform (like Reddit, I guess) I think it would be beneficial.

Given how contentious a lot of posts on microblogging platforms can be compared to the more analytical nature of forums (IMO), if emoji reactions were a thing, I suspect you'd get a lot of annoying, low-effort 🤡 and 🤣 and 👎 etc. reactions.

Those are very rare for me. I had one once -- a vivid, realistic dream that I feel coulda been 3D 480p 30FPS IRL -- where I could fly around my college campus. The main part I remember is flying up high to a window of a classroom and phasing through it (IIRC).

@tartley @guenther @derickr @davidbisset I got it working on Zen Browser (a Firefox fork), by pressing the swim button, pressing one of the buttons at the top, then the swim button again.
But anyway, fun website! <3

@rl_dane I had a roommate who would throw a little fit whenever his phone would slide off his bedstand, most of the times.
