You may have seen that we now have some more reaction smileys in posts. I can easily change the heart in favor of a thumbs up smiley if you prefer that.
Opinions?
👍definitely preferred here. Also prefer the fewer reaction options as per the German forum, though to be honest I thought a thumbs-up 'like' as the sole reaction was fine.
Makes a like button meaningless
No it doesn't. It makes sense as liking/agreeing will often be adequately signalled by a button, whereas disliking a post will usually prompt the disliker to respond and explain what they don't like or disagree with. It'd be a shame if members opted for a blunt thumbs-down rather than some discourse which can lead to interesting exchanges.
