Certain reactions should count as likes

Likes are in kind of a weird state with reactions. They don’t count towards your like total from my understanding, which messes with the most-liked posts and badges related to liked posts.

If possible, could reactions (maybe excluding :sob: , :skull: and :moai: since those are often used as “dislikes”) count as likes, just like the heart reaction?

Just an alternative suggestion I want to add, what if we could like a post, and then still be able to react.

The meaning of skull and sobbing emojis vary greatly I feel. I usually see both be used to laugh at something.

True, it’d be kinda nice to have a consistent dislike reaction tbh

i cant do select reactions as likes

This actually used to be a thing for about a month or so, where all reactions were counted as “likes”. It was reverted.

Personally, I’d rather just keep likes as they are. I find that most forumers don’t use all 10 every day, anyways.
