I find myself using them on pretty much every platform that has them: matrix, masto, discord, etc.
These would be completely separate from votes, and have no affect on sorting.
What do you think the positives and negatives would be of having them?

I think they could be added, as long as they can be visually disabled in clients, for people that don't want the clutter (or maybe neatly hide them away, while still being in reach if needed). Also, custom emojis for sure, even in text content.
Federating custom emojis is Quite A Thing, if I understand correctly
Mmm, I suppose so. @dessalines@lemmy.ml how hard would you expect it to be?
I have to look into how reactions work in activitypub before proceeding... if its an attachment that's a just a picture url, then technically any picture would work.
Gotcha
Mastodon already has custom emojis. I'm not sure how it works, but it would probably best to look at their approach.
