    Please no. I don’t want this place to be emoji ridden. This is where people go to look for useful information and discussion, not a colour soup comment section.

        Profile pictures are nice, but they force the comment section to have a lot of unused space.

        On the bottom @Briongloid comment you see that the profile picture forces extra unused real estade. I’d prefer comment section to be much more compact. Similar to old.reddit.com

        Maybe that could be an opportunity to make a unique twitch for profile pictures on lemmy. Maybe crop them to an elongated squate that fits within the line height.

        Maybe something like this

      Agreed. IMO that’s where Reddit began it’s steeper descent, when a bunch of the FB/Insta crowd began flooding in and bringing their mannerisms with.

      I think Gold/Silver/Bronze awards would be cool.

      If Lemmy introduced those kind of awards, I would love for them to be simple and recognisable.

      We could even have a revenue split between the server and the Lemmy development team.

        I think that’s dependent on how each instance decides to sustain the server costs. Some might do that with donations, some might want a monetized feature. But I’m weary of those that monetize functional features.
