+ is definitely a like & upvote
Discussion
The two should have never been the same encode. They are not the same reaction. Clients do not use them in the same way. Semantics are all different.
It's just wrong.
I didn’t really like it either, someone suggested it and i didn’t want to argue so i added it in. A spec is a spec though.
Sure, a spec is a spec. But the same spec also allow any other reaction, which I prefer to focus at. In that way, those debating if + should be a like or an upvote can sort themselves out without our interference.
