We know. Most site mods and updates have a history of not caring for user input unless a popular user suggests something or it’s one of their favorite users (yes, some site and community mods do choose favorite users to support no matter the situation).

However, custom emojis are definitely not feasible at this time and might get struck down due to the same reasons used for not having multi colored custom icons or actual profile pictures. Memechat Group Chats are probably being worked on but just aren’t ready and won’t be ready for a while, I’m pretty sure Iceu suggested this once. The downvote counter is something everyone removed but is frequently requested to be brought back for feedback related reasons instead of just there to be used to report people when they’re flagged already. It’s unknown why the counter itself is gone but it’s probably to avoid messing with people’s mental health given the state some users were in in 2020. Personally I think it should be brought back.
