I noticed it for today's EUIV post, and I've looked back and it's on some of the newer dev diaries for other games too; no negative reactions are showing, despite mixed feedback. What's going on?

Why are reactions being whitewashed in the official posts?
- Thread starter Skyfus
- Start date

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
While that's true, there are
- 4 positive reactions available
- 1 neutral (laughter)
- 2 negative reactions available
Hence, implicitly, the positive reactions might be more distributed, while the negatives might be more concentrated.
So, if a negative reactions doesn't get enough "supporters", then it truly doesn't deserve to be shown (although I liked the old system more, since it was more transparent, but well, that's just me).

it's not the first time i see this accusation of whitewashing. of course it's not true and the thread starter could have figured that out or researched it easy enough, but in my opinion the best solution would be to simply show all 7 categories. i really don't see the point of limiting it to the 3 most common and hiding the rest

I'd literally never noticed this before today, I guess I had some kinda cognitive dissonance because I always see "agree" and "like", two reactions that should honestly just be one, and assume all reactions must display.
makes sense

Pdox will probably have to deal with these kinds of threads every couple months.

Unless they just change it, or put a little disclaimer on the react button/bar that says it might not represent all the reactions (which would've caught me before making this post)

One would imagine that if this was a bug than it would have been fixed long ago. After all whoever coded it would be able to spot such a bug instantly by, you know, looking at any post.
I may be wrong but I think that reactions have priority, which is used to decide which reaction comes first when two or more are tied. From my experience the priority seems to be the same as the one shown on the reactions list (helpful, agree, respectfully disagree, etc.).
Anyway, there is a chance that this thread will get locked soon because it has nothing to do with EU IV and there is already a PDX thread dedicated to the new forum layout.

Me as a dev can always see all of the reactions and I always do look at that. We also usually record it on our dev diaries to measure performance

Some of latest Stellaris DDs (about Necroids) also had negative reactions basically prevailing.
Usually DDs rarely gather negative reactions that much unless there are things forumites think get ignored or are done quite wrong. After all, most people do appreciate the work on game.

I'm pretty sure that quote isn't in The Empire Strikes Back. Perhaps it's from the Return of the Jedi? However, the quote reads a lot more like Frederick Nietzsche to me.
My priestly powers of Jedi lore aren't great, but my impression of the dark side is that it's not like the devil; it doesn't have agency - people using it have agency.
So.... is the quote a recent disney production? Because the Sith control Disney - their lawyers are working on an immortal patent for Mickey mouse.

If I react to your post with a laugh face, it goes over the angry face, kinda white washing, even though there's only one of each
