EmojiReact vs. Like w/ content?
Hm... FEP-c0e0: Emoji reactions details two ways to federate an Emoji reaction:
EmojiReact activityLike with content (as opposed to a regular Like, which has no content)In testing, I noticed that misskey (or at least, the site I was testing with, birb.space) sends the latter. I don't know what sends the former, and if NodeBB were to start federating out EmojiReact, would it be broadly understood?
Perhaps I should federate out both at once.

EmojiReact is used by Pleroma.
Idk about others, I started with EmojiReact but then switched to Like - Mastodon users can see a "favorite" that way.

@silverpill @julian Like at least has got the advantage to use the existing vocabulary. At Friendica we currently process both but we can't send - exactly because of the problem that we're still undecided which way to go.
A problem is that you could send a negative emoji - that would be received as a like (which is normally interpretet as positive) for example on Mastodon. And this can be confusing.

@heluecht @silverpill @technical-discussion @julian it makes no sense to me to turn emoji reactions into likes. They are inherently different things. If one wants to support emoji reactions in their software, go look at how people are actually using them in everyday life. There are a totally different form of communication then a like. You can look at a popular user on Misskey to see how they are being used in reality

@liaizon@wake.st what about something in the middle... converting 
and :+1: into a like?

@julian I'm not personally opposed to that, tho it seems still sorta silly
