Dozens of types of just "Thank you"!? N High School's Slack stamp culture is way too free

Hello!I'm Moyashi, an N High student who travels.This time, I'd like to introduce the "Slack stamps" that N High students use almost every day!

I introduced Slack in a previous article, but this time I'm focusing on the "stamp culture" that I personally love the most!

For those considering a correspondence high school, you might be thinking:

"What is Slack?"

"Do you really use stamps in school chats?"
"What's the atmosphere like?"
For those people, I'd like to introduce the unique stamp culture of N High!

[It's rare for a high school to use Slack in the first place]

First of all, Slack is originally a chat tool for business.

It's often used in companies, so I think it's quite rare for a high school to use it.

I also learned about Slack for the first time after enrolling.

And what surprised me when I started using it was the sheer number of stamps.

"I didn't know they had this too!"

There are so many stamps that make you think that.

I feel like it's a culture unique to N High.

[There are dozens of types of just "Thank you"]

Anyone can freely create and add Slack stamps.

Because of that, there is an abundance of variety even for standard stamps like "Thank you," "Understood," and "Like."

There are color variations, and some where the text moves.

Furthermore, there are some that can express subtle nuances like:

"Thank you"
"Thank you!"
"Thanks~"

There are so many, with different kanji, hiragana, and fonts.

I've picked out some "Thank you" and "Amazing" ones! ↓

It's an amazing amount, but there are still more (lol)

It's fun because you can choose one to match your mood at the time!

[Lots of characters and internet memes too]

Among the stamps, there are many that use famous characters and internet memes.

Just looking at them is fun (lol)

My favorite is the stamp where Tapopo-chan is waving a flag to cheer me on.

Tapopo-chan is a pretty famous character on N High's Slack and is used in various situations.

She cheers you on so cutely that you just want to press it!

[Can you have a conversation with just stamps!?]

On N High's Slack, there are many channels with a large number of participants.

In those places, it's common to react with stamps instead of replying with text.

Actually, Slack even has stamps for the Japanese syllabary.

Because of that, you can even form words using only stamps (lol)

There's even a club called the "Stamp Conversation Club."

I was surprised when I first found out (lol)

[Easy to participate even if you're shy]

What I like most about the stamp culture is that it lowers the hurdle for communication.

When I first enrolled, I was a little nervous about replying in channels with many people.

But with stamps, I can press them easily.

"Looks fun!"
"I'm rooting for you!"

You can easily convey those feelings.

Even if you can't join the small talk, it's fun just to react with a stamp.

It also shows that you're paying attention.

I think it's a very grateful culture for people who aren't good at writing text or who are shy.

[If I had to describe N High's stamp culture in one phrase]

I would answer,

"A free, casual, and individualistic culture."

Your personality shows in which stamps you choose.

And above all, it lowers the hurdle for communication.

Even if you're nervous at first, it becomes easier to participate little by little as you press stamps.

If there's anyone considering N High from now on,

"The Slack stamp culture is more interesting than you think!"

I want to tell them that (lol)

I'd be happy if I could convey even a little bit of the N High atmosphere!



Thank you for reading until the end!I'll continue to post casually, so

please come back and take a look if you'd like!
