I hate emoji reactions. I understand that not everybody will view them the same way, but to me they're phony - if I've helped you, say thanks - don't send a thumbs up emoji.

And recognize that in large group settings, maybe a response isn't necessary - I'm sure a lot of people get annoyed by the flood of "thanks!" "good bye" and such messages that get sent at the end of large meetings.

A large number of “thanks” or “agree” messages just add noise and get mixed in with other messages. The emoji reactions are concise and targeted. At minimum they acknowledge receipt of the message.

I do a lot of work with people who are not working at the same time I am so keeping communications clear and contained is helpful.
