@Claire it's weird and confusing and also very funny
@Claire it also feels like we're comploting when we use it
@Claire Je ne savais même pas que ça existait... :s
Du coup, je viens de faire des tests sur pipou pour voir à quoi ça sert
@Claire Pas pipou, SMA, pardon.
@shad Fais toi un compte de backup sur SMA ! :3
@Claire A la réflexion, la ptite maison, même si elle est discrète, me parait suffisant comme indicateur ?
@darckcrystale @saorimni oui la petite maison est suffisante, mais elle n'est pas là dans les clients qui ne gèrent pas cette extension de glitch-soc
@Claire @darckcrystale Oui, j'avais pas pensé à ça
@shad @darckcrystale @saorimni moui l'idée c'est de se débarasser de l'emoji pas de le remplacer x)
@Claire parfois j'aimerai finir mes toots par cet emoji parce qu'il me fait rire mais je ne peux pas :(
@Claire i rely on it when i'm using other clients than the glitch-soc one (e.G. Tusky)
@Claire it might be a good idea to use a custom emoji for local-only, so it can give a self-explaining tooltip and not collide with normal use of the local-only emoji
@noiob oh, that would be better than the current emoji indeed, but it's still pretty awkward, and the upgrade path is pretty awkward as well
@Claire yeah, true
@Claire I made it on hometown so that instances could set their own custom emoji to whatever is called local_only -- most clients support custom emoji so it works for that case. On our server we set ours to be indistinguishable from a full stop, which allows it to be inconspicuous
@Claire I rely on it to see if a post is local-only and I find it weird and confusing, but I don't have a better idea. 😟
@Claire iirc monsterfork had an update that put 'local only' in small italics & maybe shaded the toot differently in the timeline; much nicer ui imo
@octopus i mean, the thing is, without the emoji, non-glitch-soc-aware clients (i.e. pretty much all mobile clients) don't distinguish local-only toots from normal ones, and won't let you post local-only toots
i think that was the original reasoning for the emoji, and it's why i'm still cautious wrt. moving away from it
the idea being, that emoji is pretty awkward and weird, it would be cool if we could stop using it
but without it, a client that doesn't support glitch-soc's extensions can't tell a local-only and a normal toot apart, nor can it post local-only
so ehhh
