Ultimately it’s a bit too much effort to decide “oh gee exactly how do I feel about this post, let me think for a bit”, so _as a general purpose one-size-fits-all thing_, I believe reactions is a poor fit – it’s more of a **specialized tool** for _some_ communities and perhaps _smaller_ communities. I could certainly see it getting use in communities where they want upvote (thumbs up) 👍 and downvote (thumbs down) 👎. Now they can! Install reactions, and make those the only two available options on each post.

In contrast, “my heart goes out to you” is a fantastic general purpose solution. Love is indeed, as they say, universal. And you can always [remap the heart](https://meta.discourse.org/t/changing-the-like-icon/7460) to some other icon, if you prefer. Here’s a great example I _just_ saw! I’ve met Tim (once), and I pressed ❤ on this post. Now, does any rational human being looking at that ❤ reaction count _actually_ think that all those people meant “yes, I like that you got hurt, Tim!” 😢

Obviously, no. It means “my heart goes out to you”. This is not a difficult thing to understand, _not even a little_, and anyone who tells you it is.. is trying to sell you something 😉
