Discord adding push notifications for people reacting with emojis is pretty funny. Emoji reacts to messages originally existed as a lighterweight way to respond to something without sending a notification, but now I guess it's exactly as noisy as just writing a reply?
@misty it’s so close to being what I wanted, except
a) there’s still no way to get a list of past reacts
and
b) the notifications are opt out not opt in
Historically my problem with discord is you’d have *extremely important* comms like someone in a crisis asking for a hug look like they were being ignored because no notification + eventual consistency. I sometimes wondered if anyone ended up being concretely harmed by that combo, it seems likely.
@Catfish_Man Mmm, yeah, and now that I think about it - I think the mobile client has a notifications pane that shows the history of notifications you've gotten, but the desktop/web clients don't? Which is kinda weird
@misty it does, but get this: it doesn’t include the new react notifications >.<
