RE: Proposal for reactions feature: separating structured user opinion (both positive and negative) from reward-modifying upvotes/downvotes
This seems very reasonable. Also, from a UX perspective, the flag button, currently, is so minimized in appearance and affordance that I bet a lot of users miss it altogether. For those who do notice it, myself included, many probably assume that the flag is for really bad content and so would not equate it to meaning "downvote," if that is essentially what it is doing.
