Upvotes seem to just federate as likes and dislikes.

Interesting idea, but how do you decide on what the universally-agreed on reactions are? Have too many and they may as well just be comments!

A fair point that I admittedly don't know how to solve. The closest I've got to a "functional" idea is to focus on splitting the two (I think? maybe three) things that an "upvote" is interpreted as, and supplementing with also the opposite / counter message:

  • "I like what this post is about" (basically a like / heart / kudos)
  • "I found this information useful / verified / checked" (a more proper upvote)
  • (optionally) "I want this information to be more easily found"

Pretty much everything else can be a comment, as you say, but the purpose and reception of a message should also be as streamlined to communicate as possible.
