Positive "Funny" reaction

[Dad]

From time to time someone does throw a funny joke, although, when you give them a rating 'Funny' they would probably think its negative.

So, A Positive "Funny" rating could be a fairly nice thing to have.
It could also make people happy that people like their jokes and think they are funny

Question, are you applying on having negative *Funny* as well?

Negative "Funny" is the current "Funny" reaction.
People use the current "Funny" reaction when a guy is saying something that's "unreal" or like making you say "he must be joking, right?"

I don't think that'd actually work Funny has one reason only to laugh at someone... i mean could u tell me 2 ways funny could be used?

There was really some moments where I wanted to use funny but thought that it would hurt the user. It's really abused by many people in the negative way that it just not the meaning it is. The reaction should be somewhat called "what a joke" and a grave emoji instead making the funny reaction so negative.

It has only one use to be honest. and is when things are funny (in a good way).

you can laugh at someone or laugh with someone

you can laugh at someone or laugh with someone

but the problem with the reaction now is that if you say something bad about a person that they don't agree with or anything that's against what they think they rate it funny as if they don't only disagree but they think of your comment as a joke and you're just an idiot. It shouldn't be used that way, to be honest, I think there needs to be a universal disagree button.

This was originally removed because the funny reaction was abused to all hell, mostly with 'sarcastic' funny reactions. Which is the main use for 'funny' that I see on this site.

So people misused the main purpose of this "funny" rating now they have to add another one? :rofl:

A huge majority of the time that the funny reaction is used, is unfortunately to put down users or tease them. I definitely don't think we should have two funny reactions and we shouldn't reward users with a high reaction total if they post something dumb.

Making funnies be neutral is the only good way to handle this still in my opinion.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
