That's why emojis are a good utility.

😂 You could say the same about memes, I guess, but pictures add context/tone and are more fun.

Also causes less confusion about what is meant as snark, ranting, joking, etc.

Back in the day, we would have long arguments on bulletin boards about intended tone, so we started adding :-D and :-P ROFLMAO etc.

That's right. I am pre-emoji.

Do it. Then we can incorporate it over Reticulum and other mesh networks...

Meta's VR chat

As much as I love reactions, there are certainly communities where this might be preferable! All about target demographics and flexible optimization imo

I think reactions beg the question of how many types of events can receive them, and from there clients must decide when to allow or disallow them. Reactions are really only situationally valuable. Most people don't want 6 alerts for 6 likes, I'd imagine. Hope to see reactions become separated and scrutinized in future client builds

I like them personally, that is my steelman 😮‍💨🫶😂👏

Clients should allow users to disable them if desired. No harm no foul
