For the longest time I was wondering what this icon is about. It seems kind of redundant because posts that I read before are already greyed out. Does the icon serve another purpose because I feel like it clutters the interface. Could we get rid of it?
I personally kind of like that icon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Am I in the minority in liking it? Maybe a toggle to show/hide it.
Personally I don’t like it because 1, it’s redundant when the post is already greyed out, and 2, it draws MORE attention to read posts.
Your eyes are naturally drawn there because it’s brighter and looks like a notification, then you realize the post is grey.
Without it, it’s simpler. Read posts are dim, unread posts are bright.
Right now, its unread posts are bright and read posts are dim with a bright icon. Everything has something bright so nothing looks different.
Kinda high so I hope I explained that without sounding stupid
Seconded, the text already greys on read/vote, so this is redundant. Alternative option, move it to the right side of the text so it doesn’t push content over.
I guess it does look a bit cramped in compact mode. I personally love it otherwise because it shows up all by its lonesome on the top right corner.
Maybe an option to disable it or not have it in compact mode since stuff is already greyed out and easier to see as read when compact?
seems people enjoy the icon, but yeah I’d love an option to disable it myself
