I should like more posts

I give out 1 maybe 2 reactions a year.
Yeah but you make up for it with all the orgasms you give.

I didn't think I'd ever 'reacted' to any posts, so I checked my profile.

Apparently, I have 'reacted' a handful of times, but half of them seem like accidental mis-clicks.
The others, however, are fucking hilarious.

I should use this feature more often.






EDIT:
Dammit...
Thanks, OP. Now that you've taught me this feature exists, I now have something else to be annoyed with.

Why does viewing my posts in the "Reactions Received" part of my profile not actually link me to the posts themselves?
I can see which thread I posted in, but not my actual post? This should be common sense.

I was all happy about a friendly thread, but now I'm annoyed.
Why does modern software have to be so obviously bad? Why even make this feature if it doesn't actually do anything?

I try to react to every post I read and that I want to see more posts like.

The only times I'll intentionally not leave a reaction are if A) I disagree with it B) It's weird and I don't understand what the poster meant or C) it's repeating a sentiment that's already been said plenty of times in that thread

I react to probably 10-15% of the posts I read? Quite simply, if I “react” in some way, I’ll acknowledge it.

If the post just floats on by, so be it.

Huh?

It does do exactly what you’re asking, the thread name is hyperlinked in the notification, and that link will take you to the post.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
i get stuck on iPad as can’t seem to find how to choose the other reactions so most things get a thumbs up where I really want to put something else.

I think there are some people who don't give out any reactions, because they are competing to have the top amount of reactions - the ultimate prize.

I give out reactions quite a bit, because it's so easy and makes people feel good, I think. But I hope I'm not contributing to their dependency on approval through social media.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Given: Around 12k
Received: Around 12k

All is well. Don't know if that's a lot or very little tho.

Hope we'd get more reaction icons, like 🫂 for when a bro is going through a bad moment, or 🍆, for the redheads thread.

I also don't get the empathy one. I guess is for when you want to show empathy without giving the post a like, but some people seem to use it as a way of disliking the post.

As folk are doing it, here’s my reaction stats, surprisingly even!

Given: 1828
Received: 1862
That doesn't work for me. Here's my options:

Hmm, the part you’ve labelled as “link to OP” is the part that takes me to the post in question.

Sounds like a setting thing, like how you can set it so you always get taken to the first unread post rather than the OP when clicking on a thread.

I tend to react to posts that amuse me or make me laugh :)

Or when someone is being pretty positive/reasonable and not a negative nancy wishing for everything to fail XD
