Updated to nicer images, made react names more NVC-flavour making claims about the person putting the react down not about the person being reacted to or about global state. Somewhat recommend LW Staff ( @Raemon? @habryka ? ) do this too, there are principled reasons for doing this if you want people to be able to think and communicate clearly. My guess is people get a lot less of a sting from negative reacts with a simple set of renames, and are able to update more cleanly.
e.g.
- Too Combative - > Too Combative imo
- Nitpick -> Seems Nitpicky To Me
- Difficult To Parse -> Difficult For Me To Parse
I made the new file names use this style mostly, but some adaptations for Discord. If you'd like to use this style I can make a draft version of renames for LW.

1I like the rename of "Difficult To Parse" to "Difficult For Me To Parse" as I think different readers can find very different things difficult, however there's v little space in the reacts menu for that name (I'd have to make the name be over two lines, which is clutter and costly). I'll keep it in mind.
Note that the combative react doesn't say "Too Combative", it says "Too Combative?" with a question mark, which I think implies lack of certainty.
I don't buy the nitpick one needs owning? Seems like nitpick is much more a property of the claim and the discussion, rather than the person reading it. If I argue that a country's GDP has gone down, and you say "Well actually it hasn't gone down because the country was re-named in 19XX and so that country doesn't exist any more" I don't think it's a very subjective question about whether that's a nitpick.
Cool, yeah, some of these renames were due to the Discord limitation of stripping punctuation and don't apply back here.

So, kinda, but imagine that different people have developed different nitpick-detector-circuits / aka definitions, and you get that react when you don't consider it to have been a nitpick. This can collide with the parts of your world-model unnecessarily and at least slightly suffering-inducingly, which is kinda the core insight under NVC.
But the nitpick one's probably got small enough likelihood of anything notable to be fine, meta meta nitpick accepted with amusement.
I think
- Missed the point
- Weak Argument
are much more notable offenders along this axis, as those words are often used in heat not as epistemic markers. I used Missed Intended Point imo, you could use Missed Intended Point?, and maybe Invalid Argument? would work here for the other one?

nope, but good idea, if you make it please link :)

Ah, that sucks. Discord allows bulk upload, maybe there's a bot or something, or maybe Slack is just limited.
I like these, but I have to look up what most of them mean. It would be helpful to show them named in this post.
Reasonable, they're all viewable if you highlight any text then click the emoji button then hover them
Awesome! Thanks! Would you welcome feedback on the symbols, along with suggestions? It's clear that you put thought and effort into this.

Ever wanted to say Scout Mindset to someone on a chat platform, but didn't want to have to type 13 characters?
Or wanted your server to have magically better epistemics because of a few images?
The LW Reactions Pack is here to help! With 63 images (or 37 for the cut down budget set of good ones if you're limited), we guarantee you will have more reaction options than you started with.
