   @evan do you know is there an agreed upon opinion in the #ActivityPub working group (or in in the fediverse at large) if `Dislike` activities should be added to an object's likes collection?

     @mariusor there is not! I think we need a FEP. Personally, I think they should go in a `dislikes` collection.

     @mariusor why not? Or are you making a joke?

     @mariusor FEPs can't obsolete standard properties from ActivityPub. That's not how they work.

     @evan no joke.

     I think that adding new properties holding only specific types of activities/objects is not a clean way of doing it.

     What happens when I want to support EmojiReaction activities? Do I need to enhance all supported object types with an /emojireaction property?

     I would see a FEP to obsolete /shares and /likes in favour of /reactions that can contain any number of activities (Announce, Like, Dislike, etc.)
