I find myself using them on pretty much every platform that has them: matrix, masto, discord, etc.

These would be completely separate from votes, and have no affect on sorting.

What do you think the positives and negatives would be of having them?

So, I was exploring a similar thing when I was talking about making a "debate oriented" instance.

Basically the idea is that responses can be "flaired", and you could make an empty comment, with that flair as a reaction.

I think it would be awesome to somehow bring both these features to fruition together.

EDIT: bundling this feature with "flair" would also presumably give communities more control over how these features are used (i.e. flair white/black list)
