    Upvoted as unpopular.

    I hate 99% of the emoji usage but the idea has some merits. I feel like the sort of “anonymous reaction” that we give in Lemmy should be a bit more fine-grained than just up/downvotes.

      Anybody else remember Slashdot? I always liked its moderation (and metamoderation!) system, where you could rate things +1 “interesting,” “insightful,” “informative,” “funny,” “underrated,” or -1 “overrated,” “troll,” “offtopic,” or “flamebait” (I think that was all of them…).

        I, for one, remember our former Slashdot overlords :^)

        To-the-point: I think that Slashdot got the right idea. We vote on things for multiple reasons, not just to make them more/less visible; it’s a form of communication.
