    My work uses outlook and I still get a whole fuckin email saying “Dipshit has reacted 👍” and it’s extremely irritating. I’ll need to remember to turn off reactions on Monday.

      I have a coworker that responds to everything with emojis. Teams messages. Emails. Everything. Even if it’s not relevant to him or directed at him. He always does it. I want to hit him with a chair.

      I will say, it’s practical for everyone using the same system. Sometimes it’s nice to acknowledge an email without having to respond to it

      And when I had my school account, they’d send out phishing alerts of what to look out for. Those emails would be spammed with crying laughing emojis

        In the case of Outlook, read receipts are a thing if the sender wants at least an acknowledgement. True that the receiver can just click no on the option to send that receipt, but presumably they’re also the type that wouldn’t have sent a reaction to the email in the first place.

      I disabled it as soon as they were launched. I also disabled the quick reply, reactions, and to text messages etc.
