emojis for voting

Stream: general

[Johan Commelin]

Note that my :minus: vote meant "neutral/abstain"

[Johan Commelin]

I realize now that this can easily be mistaken as synonym for :thumbs_down:

[Johan Commelin]

Maybe :right_fist: is a better symbol as interpolation of :thumbs_up: and :thumbs_down:

[Mario Carneiro]

Maybe :peace_sign: can be used to mean "abstain" given its usage for delegation?

[Johan Commelin]

Hmm, I feel like that is a distinct meaning. And it could be ambiguous, for example when we vote on merging a PR.

[Johan Commelin]

:peace_sign: for me doesn't mean "neutral" or "I don't care". It means "I like this, with minor modifications that I trust OP will address competently". So it is very close to a :thumbs_up: in that sense.

I tend to use :palm_down_hand: as "don't know/undecided", as it looks kind of like the hand rotation gesture in real life. Maybe that fits between :+1: and :-1:.

[Anatole Dedecker]

What about :shrug: ? Or does that sound too "I don’t care" ?

[Eric Wieser]

There's always the option of adding a custom emoji

[Eric Wieser]

Or :speak_no_evil: as "I won't say anything"

[Ruben Van de Velde]

:equality: for "it's all the same to me"

[Johan Commelin]

I really like :equality:

Personal confession: I tend to use :speak_no_evil: as "oops, I wish I didn't say anything"

It could also be interpreted as "Martin Dvořák deserves a punch into his face for this suggestion".

[Junyan Xu]

:scales: (inspired by :equality:)
This emoji has (at least) three names: scales, balance, justice

[Adam Topaz]

Why not :neutral: :smile: :sad: ?

[Matthew Ballard]

:shrug:

[Patrick Massot]

Adam, the issue with those faces is it’s clear whether :smile: means only yes or yes and you are happy about it.

:moyai:

[Alex Meiburg]

My :two: :coin: s: I'm used to seeing :right_fist: pretty much exclusively to mean "fist bump, dude!", as in, "an enthusiastic yeah". I haven't seen it used for voting, but if I did, I would interpret to mean "yes hell yes this is great!"

[Mac Malone]

My problem with :equality: is that the symbol looks more like a flag than a equal sign to me, so it takes a bit of thought upon seeing it to figure out what is meant to be implied.
