just an aside but that github discussions feature looks amazing -- first time i am noticing it. so many "issues" are really just discussions. kudos to the githu

  I agree, that is a great feature. Now we can separate what is a true project issue than a broad question/discussion

  It irks me that they have both votes and reactions.

    You can have a funny/ insightful comment that doesn't add to the discussion, so it makes sense to me at least. It's like Facebook + Reddit/ HN voting systems at once.

      The problem is that there is a convention of using :thumbs-up: for voting on an issue. Many people forget that discussions have their own voting mechanism, independent on reactions. Plus, when migrating an issue to a discussion, the reactions are transferred, but since people were using :thumbs-up: for voting, the new system isn't used for old issues turned discussions, and this whole thing becomes a mess.
