Count more reactions when considering the highest rated comment
See original GitHub issueBecause of #2108 we can see the most helpful comment (thanks @lubien!). At the moment that only counts 👍
as a positive and 👎
as a negative. But there are more reactions that can be used to indicate a post is helpful or not. How about we also count those?
Positive | Negative |
---|---|
👍 | 👎 |
😄 | 😕 |
🎉 | |
❤️ |
I’ve left the ambiguous 👀
and (the slightly less ambiguous) 🚀
out.

Top GitHub Comments
@TiagoDanin I feel that the problem with that is that we can’t make a scoring system with different values clear to the user. With your proposed scoring system it’s not immediately obvious why a post with
8 👍, 2 ❤️
is a top post over a post with2 👍, 10 ❤️
. The first has less positive reactions (10 < 12
), but a higher score in your proposed system (28 > 26
).If each one is worth only 1 point it’s easier to immediately see and understand why a post is a top post.
Also, if your proposed scoring system somehow does become clear to the users then we will be implicitly training users of (Refined) GitHub to react in certain ways to maximize a post. And if certain reactions are “worth more” that can eventually make the entire reactions system less truthful.
We’re not gonna make API calls for each comment in a thread only to get a slightly better “highest rated comment” though 😅
We can deduplicate the first 10 and just accept that 1 user = up to 4 votes, if we make this change.
