However, that’s not the only reason I might hesitate to post my agreement; I might prefer only to post when I have something to add, which would more usually be disagreement. Since I don’t only vote up things I agree with, perhaps I should start hacking on the feature that allows you to say “6 members marked their broad agreement with this point (click for list of members)”.
I notice that both reactions and the agreement voting axis exist now, but not for posts as a whole (you do still have inline reactions for agreeing with specific parts)…
(I don’t have an opinion on the object level here that’s worth expressing; I’m just commenting to surface the historical connection, wiki-gnome-like.)
