Thanks for putting these together. This doesn’t currently seem obviously bad to me for (I think) the same reasons as Isaac Dunn (those examples don’t show valueless reacts, and most cases are much clearer). However, your cases are interesting.
I agree with your read of the reactions to Ben West’s comment.
In the question about my role, perhaps it is slightly less clear, because “I agree that this is a good question” or “I have this question as well” could probably be adequately expressed with Karma. But I also doubt that this has led to significant confusion.
In the reaction to your comment, I’d go with the agrees saying that they echo the statement in your tl;dr. The disagree is weirder- perhaps they are signalling disencouragement of your encouraging Lizka’s sentiment?
(Perhaps how perplexing people find agree/disagree reacts to comments which don’t straightforwardly contain propositions maps to how habitually the reader decouples propositional content from context.)
I’ll keep an eye out for issues with this- my view is loosely held. Thanks again for raising the issue.
