It would be great to have the opportunity to upvote posts without implying that I agree with them or that I certify them as factchecked.
A frequent issue comes when someone posts something useful that sounds factual, but I’m not positive it is true. I don’t want my upvote to be interpreted to mean I verify this is a fact, so I don’t upvote. That is a loss.
When I disagree but appreciate a post, I would usually upvote it. I know many people will never upvote a post they disagree with. Maybe they don’t even know that is an option?
Maybe I will try using the emojis as follows:
Thumbs up (+1): I agree
Clap: This post furthers the discussion, even though I don’t necessarily agree or vouch for facts presented.
Heart: This post is useful, agreed, and factual as far as I know.
I have no idea if this will successfully communicate what I intend. For those who regularly use the clap or thumbs up reactions, what do you intend to communicate with them that’s different from hearting?

The new reactions do not count toward badges
I just got a “Good Reply” on a comment that’s had over 30 total reactions for days, but it didn’t trigger the badge until the original-flavor hearts got to 25

my claps are usually full throated agreement, when a mere heart isn’t enough. and my thumbs up are either for: good point; or, you got that perfect and it couldn’t be said better.
i don’t think i could really be consistent though, sometimes it’s just not a heart sort of day.
oh sure, brag much? 
“i see, what’s your worst quality?”
“if i had to choose it’s probably my attention to detail, or maybe that i really like going the extra mile.”

I’m just reporting on a technical problem 
… also, reaction reports are split into two different pages now, that’s probably not good either
bbs.boingboing.net/u/gatto/notifications/likes-received
bbs.boingboing.net/u/gatto/notifications/reactions-received
for some reason “likes-received” is private but “reactions-received” is publicly viewable

It’s a plugin. I imagine these sorts of things will remain true until reactions are integrated into core.

Apologies if this is repetitive. I did a quick scan of this thread and didn’t see it, but may have missed it.
Have the “nice reply” and similar badges stayed on the heart reactions?
I ask because I’ve noticed a few times where a post got 10 “reactions,” but I only got the “nice reply” notice when it got 10 “heart” reactions.
No biggie either way, just a bit confusing.

I remember Orenwolf mentioning somewhere that the reactions haven’t yet been integrated into the Nice Reply, etc. badge system on Discourse.
