I have a crazy opinion that everyone’s invited to disagree with: Often long comments on the EA forum would better be split up into a few smaller comments, so that others could reply separately, agree/disagree separately, or (as you point out) emoji-react to separately.
This is a forum culture thing, right now it would be weird to respond with many small comments, but it would be better to make it not-weird
Thanks Nathan! Do you happen to have an example of another site that does paragraph-level reactions well? The main question that pops to mind is is clutter vs value
Feels like the forum is adding a lot of features recently good work team and good work Lightcone.
I really appreciate that the forums shows me more of what the best version of me would want rather than maximising engagement.
Can we have emoji reactions to individual paragraphs?

What do you think?
I strongly agree, but people don’t really like this. There are, I sense two modes of thinking about comments:
There to start discussion
There to find concensus
Long/interesting comments are good for the former. Short, clear comments are good for the latter.
