Clients should never advertise content based on reactions. There are plenty of reactions that are negative. Reaction is not a boost. If you want to advertise reactions, at least filter to only show the positive ones or break the UI it down by reaction type.
Most of the network seems to disagree with you. Reactions are a great source of social signal. Yes, clients should be smarter about not over-simplifying the meaning behind emojis. But you're missing my point, which is that coupling reactions with reports is also bad. I know you keep saying that's not what you're doing but... it is. The same button does both things, and you only tell the user about the report, not about the reaction,
Got your test correctly marked with the warning and the report. https://nostrcheck.me/media/460c25e682fda7832b52d1f22d3d22b3176d972f60dcdc3212ed8c92ef85065c/06a32ffc3a1857760f186f83cbc524bd323ae2dbc949f37f1a4717e893664d34.webp
Does reporting auto-mute as well? After I sent this you were suddenly muted in Coracle.
Yep.
"Most of the network" is not even coding reactions correctly, so apologies if I don't give them any credit...
