As temperatures reach 30°C in Brittany, and my friends melt and complain, I'm like "I lived in Nice, you weaklings. 30°C is a bad spring day".
@thelinuxEXP How do you downvote on Mastodon . . .
@joshfowler you don't, you accept that warmth is life!
@thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social @joshfowler@social.librem.one alternatively, you can join a Misskey or Pleroma instance, we have emoji reactions (although they federate to mastodon as regular likes) 
@thatonecalculator @thelinuxEXP Do you know if reactions are coming in any official capacity? They are something I initially hated but found it stopped reaction spamming so is an overall improvement to social media/communications.
@thatonecalculator @thelinuxEXP I see! Yes, I was referring to the ActivityPub standard but couldn't remember the name. I took a look at Mastodon's github and the reactions feature request hasn't had activity since 2020 so not happening any time soon it looks like.
@joshfowler@social.librem.one @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social I'm not quite sure what you mean by an "official capacity", as emoji reactions are already an officially supported standard on ActivityPub. Mastodon is just outdated compared to most other ActivityPub-based SNSes, and Gargron refuses to add already accepted features.
For reference, the following support emoji reactions:
- Misskey
- Pleroma* (no custom emojis)
- Akkoma
- Pixelfed
- Fedibird (mastodon fork)
- GoToSocial
And the following don't:
- Mastodon
- Peertube (not really necessary)
