Replaces a lot of useless typing I had to do to sound polite when saying “fine, no further comment”. And then getting a notification from the other party acknowledging my acknowledgment… yuck.
I kind of get why we don’t like this in email, but for SMS and Slack I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reactions. They’re a way to say “I received this and have a positive reaction to it, with no further communication necessary”.

I would love to disable that on my client. I never want to see reactions.

The UX problem is you send an e-mail, and someone "thumbs up" a response, and then you block the response and assume that they didn't care to respond, while they think they have responded.
The distance between "didn't care to respond" and a thumbs up emoji response is measured in angstroms.
The reaction email doesn't have some specific header that can be used to block it?

Oh, this is good to know! I haven't encountered this issue personally yet, but maybe once I've updated my mailserver, I won't encounter it in the future. Now to figure out how to stop the same thing happening in SMS.
