And if it's not at random it's rewarding when you receive it as thanks for ridiculing someone, but it may fail and receive a dumb reaction instead. Same for writing unpopular opinions.

welcome, people

in this thread, I will explain what reactions are, and what people mean when they give you one

let's get started


now, what are reactions, exactly?

well, they were a "new" feature added to the forums you guys know and love today

see that like button over there?

well, when you hover over it with your mouse cursor, you get this:

those are the reactions I was talking about

neat, right?

(note: you can't react to your own comments, I screenshotted these on an alt account)

when you receive a reaction, it increases your reaction score, depending on which reaction you get

and you get forum titles based on how many reaction score you have

(if you want to find out more about what forum titles are and how certain reactions effect your reaction score, click here)

but enough about that, you clicked this thread to learn about what people mean when they give you certain reactions, so here they are

(credits to @BakedBanana for this and the emoji for the reaction below):
it means they like your post, pretty self-explanatory

:
if one person gives it:
it means they hate your post

if several people give it:
it means your post was completely wrong and you should feel ashamed for it

if @Baronoflight gives it:
you're a forum regular now, congrats

This :this:
it either means that your post was objectively correct, or they agree with your post

Funny :pacman:
it means your post was funny, again, pretty self-explanatory

Love :hearts:
if @vmman gives it:
either he actually loves the post, or it's just his way of liking a post without using the like reaction

if anyone else gives it:
it means they like your post so much that they love it

Thinking :thonk:
it means your post was thought-provoking

Confused :questionblob:
I don't even have to say anything, because even a child, no matter how much their mother drank during pregnancy, could understand what this means

Drink :aquadrink:
to quote @Angry_Panda, this means either:

meguusad :meguuusad:
if anyone else gives it:
it means your post made people cry

if @BakedBanana gives it:
most of the time, it's for the same reason as anyone else, but on rare occasions, he will give this to a post that doesn't really have anything sad in it, and no one knows why

Helpful (💡):
again, a child, no matter how much their mother drank during pregnancy, could understand what this means

Dumb :slap: :
if one person gives it:
they think your post was stupid

if multiple people give it:
your post IS stupid, and you should feel ashamed

Wow :meguupog:
it means that they were impressed by your post

and finally...

Angry :angery: :
self-explanatory

that's all, folks
Can i react on mobile?
