Reactions are officially here!

Reactions are another way for the community to give feedback on a post; for more information, see this Meta post.

I've disabled the default "Works for me", "Outdated", and "Dangerous" reactions for now, since I don't feel like they work well for this community. That's where you all come in - we can add any reactions that this community needs, so please give your suggestions!

I had asked some question. So, from experience on asking question I can say that

helpful is better for the community.

Unhelpful

A answer can be good and bad in languages CD. But I don't think word in language also gets outdated. So I am saying that Helpful and Unhelpful is better for reaction. Even they are helpful for the community's Meta site.

Unhelpful requires comment.

Sometimes, people can give false information. For reason, I would like to "expand" the Unhelpful reaction.

Description of Unhelpful : False information or poorly written.?

Helpful : Good answer; helpful for me.?

I don't have any idea how helpful reaction will be helpful. But unhelpful reaction will be helpful cause as we know that if a person react as unhelpful than they must add comment while they can downvote without saying why the post is unhelpful.

I just chose Helpful as opposite of Unhelpful

What would be the difference from just up and down voting? (3 comments)

Who had downvoted isn't visible. and if they want than they can downvote and go away but in reaction if they react as unhelpful than they must add a comment.

I think that that's so thin a difference that most users wouldn't be able to use voting versus Helpful/Unhelpful for any consistently distinct purposes. In particular, there's a soft, unwritten rule that whenever I'm downvoting, I should also consider commenting - not to defend the downvote, nor to put a face on the downvote, but primarily to suggest potential improvements if the post is salvageable and if nobody pointed out the reason for the downvote yet. So "Unhelpful" feels to me like a downvote with a comment that starts with "-1" and goes on to explain why, and "Helpful" like an upvote with a comment which says just "+1".

I can't imagine ever upvoting and reacting with Unhelpful, or downvoting and reacting with Helpful myself. So I think that the features would be duplicates.
