I recently read a funny comment and wanted to give it the 😂 reaction like I would on a Telegram post, but upvoted instead. Reddit had upvoting downvoting but wondering if Lemmy, being an open source innovative software, should evolve past the upvote downvote and allow for a wide range of emoji reactions to a post.

    Emojis make everything worse. But I would be down for awards like Steam, the only platform soon, which has awards for coins. Now we only need a way to purchase them… while everyone can create their own fediversed lemmy, it sounds hard to implement it in a fair way.

    For some reason, steam awards kind of has its place as you can’t purchase a 200$ award or smth but rather use cheap coins that you don’t need. Reddit awards always felt kinda wrong, especially after you know that someone spent so much money.
