Having reactions would be nice.
No, it wouldn't. Half-brained suggestions like this would be the death of this forum is followed. Porting over features from other platforms, such as discord, takes away from the forum's uniqueness. When the features are something as braindead as reactions, which appeal primarily to the youth of today whose attention span is no longer than that of a YouTube short, you degrade the overall quality of the forum and its posts. Such a feature doesn't mesh with the forum as it currently stands. It would be out of place and simply doesn't belong in a forum where posts longer in length than a text-message are supposed to be lodged. If you want reactions, go use discord. Don't try to drop a massive steaming turd that isn't even Andy Sixx's in here.
For discussing new suggestions, please see the conversation Suggestions thread; this thread has more to do with the order of implementing (and checking off) changes planned to be made to the software.
