Having used slack at a business, emoji reactions to comments are an extremely valuable business feature -- they allow people to react without having to make a full-sized comment, which helps keep conversations compact.

- jwilk 8y agoThere is nothing about emoji in this article.
- greglindahl 8y agoThe article is very relevant, it's using "reactions" instead of a full "me too" comment or email. Slack just happens to express reactions using emoji.
- djhworld 8y agoI wish email had this feature. Sometimes I might ask someone to do something, and when they reply like "Done", it would be nice to just react with a thumbs up or something rather than continuing the chain of emails with a "Thank you" etc

- u801e 8y ago> emoji reactions to comments are an extremely valuable business feature How is it better than just having upvotes and downvotes like what's done on websites like HN, reddit, and Slashdot? Personally, I don't see much value when seeing 5 different reaction emojis right under a comment I post in a Slack channel.
