   Pleroma federates Like activities. This is clever: if you are following someone, and they like something, then it federates to your instance. This means that, if you stay off relays, the timeline will be full of posts by people that you follow, and posts that they like or that they reply to or repost. That's cool. Then EmojiReact comes by and people scrawl red X's and those threads federate. That is, the pattern is that someone sees a thing they don't like, they click and then that thread federates. The timeline starts getting posts because they were disliked by people you are following, and not just posts that they dislike, but posts that they didn't even dislike to the extent that they'd reply. So, it's posts that people mildly dislike but not enough to actually type a reply. If anyone on your instance follows someone that habitually does this, then TWKN starts to suck.
   
   Anyway, the volume of text makes it seem like a bigger deal than it is. I don't like them, I don't think they're well thought-out and their effect on the network is negative, but the end result is I just shiptoast about them on occasion.
