Should reactions replace simple upvotes on replies?

With reactions now available in Pro, I am wondering whether plain upvotes on replies still earn their keep. Reactions carry more nuance — heart, rocket, hooray.

Do you think both should coexist, or does that clutter the UI? Curious how others reason about this.

Could you say more about how you measured the result? I want to try this but I am not sure what success would look like.

One caveat for larger communities: keep an eye on the indexes. At a few thousand rows the difference is night and day.

Strong agree. Good defaults beat a wall of toggles every single time.

For what it is worth, the same approach works with the PMPro adapter — the membership side is identical from here.

Following this thread closely. We are about to face the exact same decision and the replies here are gold.
