Before I delete an account from a service, I like to request my data to see what's in there. Reviewing my #Discord export, I'm surprised to find there is a section dedicated to "frecency," i.e. how often I used specific: stickers, emojis, application commands, applications, guilds and channels, and emoji reactions. Looking at emojis, it tracked: total uses, recent uses, and assigned some kind of score. Just... why? On the upside, I did learn that the 😂 emoji wins with ~700 uses. #privacy

    @ryse@mastodon.social what do you mean "why"? Most applications worth their salt that offer you an emoji picker will give you a section with often used and/or recently used emojis. And using a weighted score that keeps the emote you use a lot in front of the one you just used makes sense to have? I am honestly surprised that Misskey does not do that and just does naive "put the most recently used one first" ​:ai_pudding_taberu:​
