I had a similar insight about the need for a registry of "reactions" when switching from one chat program to another. Work Slack vs friend Slack or whatever. There's no way to take your built up custom library of reactions with you. The custom reactions start to become shared cultural artifacts and snapshots of the evolution of a community over time. They're surprisingly important, to the point where I've heard people say (and have felt myself) that moving to a different chat program and not having some key reactions actually made it more difficult to express yourself. Almost like having a speech impediment. Anyway, I'm working on this open and portable reactions libraries thing if anyone is interested in brainstorming about it.
