Wouldn’t they? Are they chaotic pjs if I just grab random top and bottom from the drawer in the dark?

I’m nosey about reactions on Lit.

Specifically, the shocked/surprised/wow reaction to posts on Lit ()

Do you use it? If so, what does it mean when you do? If not, why don’t you?

How do you feel if someone reacts to your post this way?

Am I the only one that wonders what this reaction means?

I do use the 'wow' reaction. It's probably my fourth most frequent reaction, following 'love', 'like', and 'haha'.
I'll preface this by saying that I know nothing about internet norms, online behaviour, or the original intent of these reaction buttons. I'm not a tech person at all, and Lit is the only "tech" that I engage with outside of sending emails for work. (No smartphone or social media for me.) So I have no idea if I'm using these things correctly...
But I generally use the 'wow' button to mean... daaaaamn... or, wow that's hot... or, damn that's sexy... or, wow that's impressive... or, cool and really interesting. I'm pretty sure I always use it in a positive sense! Perhaps there are exceptions, but generally I would apply it in the way that I responded to your post the other night. You posted a beautiful picture, and a very true and stimulating quotation, all of which combined to make a sexy post... and I thought, "wow, that's hot." It never even occurred to me that the 'wow' could be negative... but of course you're right. I don't use it that way generally. I just meant, 'wow... damn... very sexy!' (By the way, I really appreciated you asking me directly. Very cool. It made me stop and consider my words and reactions, and was a fantastic learning experience.) Thank you!

Old lit. Before the reactions. Sometimes I like them because I can react without having to say something. But I also dislike them for similar reason. It's lessened communication a little.
But if my reply would have simply been. "I like it! " the reaction will do.
In AMpics. It had let the lurkers react to pictures vs just lurking. Anywhere else too. But I've noticed it a lot in AMpics more.

Exactly this. Thanks for writing it out, sassy

I still upload my pics so lurkers have to at least register for an account to see em. Small amount of friction.

If I use the 'wow' reaction it can have a variety of meanings and tones. I'll invariably follow it up with a reply, so it isn't ambiguous.

You’re pretty clear with your opinions, definitely!

Let’s get some folk together for a cuddle puddle

For me if it's a photo my means "wow" like my jaws on the floor or "damn!! "

If it's a topic/opinion post then it probably more of WTF or Oh Shit ..

Alright. I've decided I'm instigating chaos from now on and closing my eyes to pick a reaction
Rainshine is a GENIUS

Well of course. How else do you think I got so middle aged and mediocre.

I use this when something shocks or surprises me. It can be good or bad, like a gross comment is bad or a super sexy pic is good. In my mind it's also similar to me responding with this when someone says something about me

This one and @PlanetaryNebula s "I don't wanna" gifs are my favorite reactions.

I do sometimes . Usually it’s because someone said something that doesn’t really fit into the other reactions but I still want to note that I see them.

Sometimes it’s as in “How dare you Sir!” . Mostly I only notice if folks downgrade me from loves to likes though. *sigh* insecurity and a good memory are a bad pairing.

I occasionally post some homemade porn my wife and I make. When I see this - it means damn… or hot or damn that’s hot!

When I see , I think it means damn… or hot or damn that’s hot. Or maybe like “wow!”

So this probably doesn’t help at all…

You’re just randomly commenting into the void. Like who are you even talking to?

Coy or unaware…I’ve already explained this to you. #notwitty
