@harrybr Primarily a lack of space and the design system not ready for it. Things a bit outside my control… 😬 The context is hard to explain and not sure how much I can write about. There are many, many actors involved. The icon really is a small part of my bigger challenges 😅
@harrybr But yeah, the letters OK have been considered. And today, it’s all words in the bigger picture of it all. The icon is really to complement the words. But the words, as they stand now, can also confuse… but are used in so many places… it’s surprisingly complicated. x.com/axbom/status/1…

@skry @Goufalite In many countries that is also a vulgar expression for anus or asshole and similar to giving someone the middle finger.

@Loukas_RS @martenschultz Just det, Googlebombing myntades ju när en sökning på "miserable failure" ledde till George Bush profilsida. Det här är en oerhört intressant vinkel på samma effekt, att sökning på personnamn kan "avslöja" det som tidningar försöker anonymisera.

@davidofyork It was just trying to get to the udder side.

@ellecer The US has a long history of empowering dictators. At this point in history it's difficult to see what is sanctioned and not by political forces.
↪ Replying to @ellecer
@ellecer Non-English would likely not pose a problem, but this would depend more on Facebook's relationship with Duterte and his ability to ban Facebook from the country entirely. As Facebook reports have shown, some people are allowed more leeway in breaking rules than others.

@weylandswart 😊 Oh I definitely feel they are following their (Mark's) plan to the teeth.
They've reached ludicrous speed, total tunnel vision and there are few actors who understand how, or have the ability to, enforce friction to slow them down.

@ohlserik Yes, Johan did a good sketch: x.com/j_schalin/stat…

@aDreamersWaltz @deformador Similar here while I believe it's just as common to just stick to red for all marks.
Reminds me of those awesome pens with four retractable colors.

@aDreamersWaltz @deformador Cool, thanks for sharing!

@sojge @alundbergh Seeing them each on their own, for me they would both mean ”something selected”, but I’m sure not for everyone. That would also be interesting study.
With regards to emojis it’s of course dangerous to assume to much as that X is red on several platforms:

@heyitsmejak @leeloowrites I added some more info to the thread. Not quite there yet. x.com/axbom/status/1…
↪ Replying to @alundbergh
@alundbergh Yes, good example. I’d say that the first one is a check mark and the second one denotes something being selected.
↪ Replying to @alundbergh
@alundbergh True. As we know though, red/green color blindness is the most common variety of color deficiency.

@Silanota I've actually put it up on Amazon. But it's in Swedish! Would love to translate it at some point but it's would still be difficult to understand the English to Swedish comparisons...
Crazy to realise I wrote it in 1995... 😬
