Remove emote reactions for Server Gnomes

Could you please remove the function that server gnomes on discord have to react to messages?

I asked one to be kind the other day because I’ve noticed they make negative comments to people posting stuff in certain channels and have seen people end up deleting their contributions because of it.

I then made a faux pas of not knowing that AI apparently harms the environment. I said live and let live if people want to use AI. Other members of the community including your gnomes then jumped on me saying that they literally can’t live, they can’t breathe, the birds are dying, water is being held hostage, etc. because of AI.

Part of this pile on involved your gnomes leaving positive emotes on all the posts they agree with and a negative reaction on one of mine. I don’t think you gave them the ability so they could target and police people this way. I’ve seen this happen in other discords, you give certain people an elevated status and it creates a tribal like behaviour that others don’t want to go against as they don’t want to draw the ire of the tribe.

Since I highlighted that what was being done was starting to amount to bullying, a few people have removed their negative reaction but I keep getting notifications that people are negatively reacting. There’s no way for me to add a positive emote for those that might agree that if you don’t like something, just ignore it and move on rather than leaving people negative comments so it’s a very one sided power the gnomes have. I think it should be removed from them. If people are incapable of understanding that sometimes people may disagree and they just have to accept that and ignore, they probably shouldn’t be representing you and have the power to target others when the people they are targetting have no equal power to respond.

At the very least, can you please ask them to be kind to everyone and to not beat people with their morality sticks.
