Like button. Would this reduce conversations?

GG ??

If we’re educated and rational then we can post to say we like another post and why and not indulge in playground antics about who has got more likes than someone else and then some posters believing that more likes validates the content of the post in some peculiar way

Thanks Anja
You just confirmed my theory.

I think Gransnet is fine as it is. No 'like' required and if you preview your posts you shouldn't need to edit them.

Good post maryeliza, I like it



Yes, I must preview more often merlogran

Glad to know GG ??

GNHQ is getting better but they do tend to treat us like semi-demented inhabitants of an Old People’s Home...

ANJA I’m still smiling at this, some days that is exactly how I feel and there is only DH and me living here.

??*Merlotgran*. ?? I also wondered why we need an ‘edit button’, when we already have the ‘preview’ option.
I try to always use it, but somtimes press ‘post’ before checking whether or not I have had fat finger syndrome. ?

The only problem I have with the Preview option is sometimes I forget I haven't posted a comment, only previewed it.

Lost forever.

I sometimes think I am previewing, but there is the post - posted for all to see complete with typos

Jalima. You'd think we'd get the hang of it by now.

Give us an eyeroll emoji!!

where do posters get all these emojis/emoticons, whatever they're called, from?

bad grammar there btw - did you notice?

without resorting to words I might regret
In other words, anonymously endorsing opposing views.
Some individuals are blockheads.

Would it mean that as well as getting lots of posts from people who don't understand the acronyms/abbreviations and haven't noticed that there is a list of them we would also get posts from people who don't understand how to use a "like" or "don't like" button?

I know about our own acronyms but people use ones from elsewhere - what a lot of clever clogs!

I sometimes don't get any reaction within a post about something I have posted. That doesn't make me feel invisible. And I certainly don't need likes to make me feel validated. Mind you, many years ago in a disagreement with my own grandmother she told me I was a hard woman ! After some thought I decided to regard it as a compliment to my toughness in adversity

No to like button
No to edit button. We already have 'preview'

They're on your mobile (emojis) above the numbers on the keyboard. Just use instead of/as well as GN ones.

Ah, that explains it, Gabriella
I don't use my mobile for GN

I like marmight's post!
