Here here! It's apparently a one line of code change, or at least very simple.

What's weird is that I'd imagine those who use primal as their main would be most up in arms about it. They're the ones missing out!

It feels a bit legacy social media to me. Subtle incentive to follow the primal default or else a large chunk of users won't see your reactions... and you won't make it into the precious primal trending feed 😱

VC backed primal smells more and more like bankruptcy

I like that their spending and efforts result in more onboarding, but this is just odd. Do their users not want a simple fix made so that they can receive more varied reactions? Why wouldn't you want that?

Their goal is to kill onboarding, not cause more of it. They don't want a good user experience because that would lead to user retention and more importantly a better reputation for nostr itself. For any users that try their app first, they try their best to filter out all but the most bitcoin culty

Not as wild a theory as it first sounds. Maybe they fear their users would get overwhelmed or confused by too wide a variety of emojis? 🤭

That is famously why Apple has never implemented emojis

Hmm, you mean in iMessage? They've had them enabled a little while now, maybe two years, but they are slightly inconvenient to access. So one often sticks with the classic "haha, !!, ?" set.

I meant like this. We could be a couple dozen rows into this Road To The Future by now

A set of keys for emojis?! That's a terrible idea lol

You're right. Better to start with something like this and then just remove the letters

Brilliant! Remember the smart ribbon thing? That would light up and display emojis, I think. Was hideous!

Primal would run ads in that ribbon thing if they could, that's how they feel about impacting nostr's reputation
