  • It works

    Interesting idea for a plugin.

  • Awesome concept

    Giving a 5-star review because this is an awesome concept. I'm really looking forward to seeing it progress and become better over time. I'm also balancing out silly 1-star reviews by @Jessy161616 and @gleenk since neither of these people left reviews of the actual plugin.

  • EMOJIS!

    The jerks who one-starred this can go suck on a lemon. I don't care for comments on my sites, but I'd still like feedback. Emoji reactions allow me to get that without having to suffer through long-winded, cruddy opinions.
