Virtual Stickers to Manage Replies By
Dan Hon: “Over on Mastodon, which has a Kind of Person, I made these images to attach to help people manage replies.” These are aces — I’ve included my personal favorites above. You can find the whole set here on Flickr or here with alt text.
These pair well with Rebecca Solnit’s recent piece on How to Comment on Social Media. (Dan, could I get one that says something about reading the link before replying?)

I want to say these are perfect, but now I wonder whether my reply was unnecessary.
“… could I get one that says something about reading the link before replying?“
Could I get one that says something about reading your reply before posting it? If you won’t take the time to correct the misspellings and grammatical errors in your post why should I give you any credit for knowing what you are talking about?
This reminds me a little of https://nohello.net/en/ which provoked much discussion at my workplace recently.

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation..
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
