Full list of emojis for post reactions

Why not allow people to react to posts with the full range of emojis available in private chat? Unless I am dumb, it seems like there are only a small handful available for reacting to forum posts. Why? Please allow the full range of expression.

The way the the Reaction plugin works, each emoji has to be added separately.

I think that’s because stats for each emoji are tracked for every post and every user, so adding hundreds of emojis would create non-trivial overhead.

But I’m open to adding a bunch more if there are specific ones you’d like to use. Only limitation would be emojis that seem like their primary use is as an insult, I don’t think that would be a net positive for discussion (and I’m afraid to find out how many of my posts would earn the :clown_face: reaction).
