Brohoofing ettiquette

[Steel Dreams 27]

Is it considered polite on these forums to give sympathy brohooves to unhappy people, or does it have the same connotations as 'likes' on facebook?

You brohoof what you want to brohoof. I've seen a handful of users who brohoof just about every reply to a thread, while people like me only brohoof posts that are really awesome. It's all up to you!

Personally, I try to not brohoof when people say that something bad happened with them, it might give the impression that I am happy for that. But I understand that it may mean instead "I'm here" or "I feel for you".

 

But this is just my personal policy, there are no "unwritten rules" I know about.

Me, I tend to brohoof posts that I really like, made a thought provoking or intellectual post, or ones where someone is really expressing what they really enjoy. I do not like brohoofing every post, I feel like that lowers value of my brohoofs and I think it would make my brohoofs seem dis-genuine.

I want to encourage people to post good and happy content and show that by brohoofing

I brohoof what I agree with.

[Smarts 1,623]

I only brohoof posts that I agree with or ones that make me laugh.

 

You'll get no sympathy from me.

I only brohoof them if they deserve it

I use brohoofs often as a way to "like" posts.

I mostly brohoof if I like a post but also if someone has given one of my posts a brohoof as it seems courteous to do the same.

I tend to use the hug react for those sorts of posts as opposed to a brohoof.

[Magic Note 2,750]

I only react to posts if I agree with the post or if I like the post a lot.

Personally I brohoof what I like but it can also be thought of as a confirmation of having read and acknowledged what you wrote. So really a brohoof is what you want it to be however, in real life a brohoof is a greeting and online it is more of I see what you wrote bro.

I only use brohooves to mark what I’ve read unless I can use something better

[Evil Pink One 13,512]

Bro hoof is bro hoof.

[Sparklefan1234 172,961]

I brohoof my friends posts because I want to support them. 

[abronymouse 5,841]

brohoof is supportive hoof /)

There are different brohoofs for different situations, including sad ones. It should be obvious what everyone means when they send a brohoof and I don't expect anyone is going to send a big smiley face when someone experiences misfortune.
