Veritula should have some way to indicate agreement; some way to indicate that a particular thread of a discussion is resolved, at least for the time being.

People could wrongly think they have epistemological relevance. For example, they might adopt an idea that has pending criticism just because it got positive reactions.

Reactions could be limited to the recipient of a comment.

That limits the scope of the problem but doesn’t eliminate it. A single recipient could still react in a distracting way.

There’s value in reacting to top-level ideas, too.

There’s value in others being able to react as well. Maybe an idea affects them in some way or they want to voice support.
