Artefacts can occur on Gab probably due to the use of an 'ad' blocker: my 'likes' or, often in my case, 'love' reactions to Gab posts sometimes do not display the chosen reaction emoji, nor is the reaction text displaying in bold 'green', nor is there any 'dot' next to the reaction count that usually demonstrate what your reaction was. In this situation, one might have otherwise suspected that the reactions are being #throttled (e.g. by an agent outside of #Gab) / not tallied, seeing how some #reactions are not displayed, but this does not appear likely because when turning the ad blocker back on, the reaction texts, emojis and dots reappear. Aside from my #comments and/or #posts over the years where I queried any possible #throttling / #shadowbanning events - see my profile -, I noted these events this morning, because several #posts that I had reacted to several hours ago in a feed (https://gab.com/feeds/25648) demonstrate many of my #reactions from several hours ago were no longer displaying on my browser (NOTE: In case it helps, see the screen capture where I give my reactions again; I did not capture the events where I gave my reactions for a second time to two of the posts this morning - at the top of the feed - whose reactions were missing). Practically all of the posts in this feed should have originally shown reactions, as I usually react to every gab in that feed. This happened on an #UngoogledChromium browser on a desktop. I sometimes use a Firefox-derivative browser on that desktop. Only one of the three #extensions may be interfering - particularly, a popular 'ad' blocker; the other two extensions would not affect a webpage's display, one would think. Some gab-specific ad block filters are being used; I could DM a developer with details upon request, but I would prefer not to give more details publicly to preserve the attack surface. @support @developers #Likes
