This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

What is this Heart symbol that I see?
Tooltip says "1 Point".
New feature?

Are you using an app? Desktop doesn't have this.

Web UI. (I'm actually looking around for what app to choose)

It is not on all comments, only 2-3. I saw it the first time on the comment that started this thread.

Hearts = upvotes - downvotes, yeah Idk know who would find that useful. Some socials do that.

I see, so I would assume that if a server calculates it, it sends it to others, which then send it to clients in the metadata.

I think this is a client side thing at least it makes more sense to me.

And the fact that only some clients have that may prove it right.

Ok, I just experimented a bit and seems like that's the case.
I probably just didn't look closely at enough comments with both, upvotes and downvotes until now.
