I would like to request a “hug” button on Mastodon that I can tap when someone posts something sad or emotionally delicate, for when there are no words and tapping a star seems like a weird thing to do.
@sebastianmalloy Some of the other Fediverse servers have implemented federated emoji reactions instead of just stars. FireFish, Misskey, and (I think) Akkoma all support it. Who knows, Mastodon might soon if it isn't in the works already!
