cheat-sheet/guidelines for emoji-reactions on chat apps
  • ✅/✔️: Correct. Use it when you want to assert something is factual. Use it with care, and be skeptical of yourself. It can also be used to say something is "done".
  • ⬆️/🔼: ×2/ditto. When you want to repeat whatever someone said, without actually repeating. Useful to emphasize/approve the content of a message, even if you disagree with the person that said it.
  • 👍: Like. To show agreement or subjective approval, or to say that you simply like/support something. Can be used to say "got it", "thanks", and even "you're welcome".
  • 💯: Definitely/definitively. When you absolutely couldn't agree more! Keep in mind this is still subjective. Don't use it for facts, unless paired with "✅".
  • ❤️: Love!. Use it to show your fondness or appreciation for something/someone. I won't go into details about colors, as there's no consensus. Can be used to say "thank you!".
  • 🗿: Based. Use it when someone is a giga-chad or said something based. Note that people can be based even if you disagree with them, so using this emoji doesn't imply "surrender", just that you recognize someone's boldness.
  • ✍️🔥: "Fire writing". When someone just wrote PEAK fiction, or the way they worded something "went hard"
  • ✋😐🤚: ABSOLUTE CINEMA. AKA "peak fiction". See here for alts
  • 💀: Dead. Use it when something is cursed, ugly, or triggers PTSD (see also TYS).
  • ⚰️: RIP. Use it to "pay respects", or to express your condolences for someone's pain/suffering

Should this be in an actual repo? If so, should it be its own repo, or an existing one?
