It is interesting. On the one hand, I can see how the previous model could be sightly alienating to anyone who's skin color doesn't obviously map to "Simpsons Yellow". However, whether people pay attention to it or not, the new interface quantifies approval in a way which can be segmented by skin color, which seems kind of odd.
Yeah. I think it’s weird to be constantly reminded of my colleagues’ skin color while reading Slack.
Sorry honest question: why is that dystopian? Also :+1: gives me the usual yellowish emoji.
Presumably because yellow should work for everyone. There will always be some people who are offended that a choice exists, even if they don’t plan to take it.
