Limit on reactions?

[Boldlinedesign]

I know this question does not belong here specifically but I don't know where to ask forum-specific questions.

Why is there a limit to the number of reactions one can give in a day? How is that calculated? I reacted to a few yesterday and had no limit. Today I liked two posts and a pop up told me I was done for the day haha.

More just curious why it is as it is

I think it’s so that reputations aren’t boosted artificially. If we had unlimited reactions at our disposal, I could ‘like’ every single one of your posts and thereby give you a higher score than other users who get a few positive reactions from a lot of people. And if you got a lot of likes from one particular user, you might feel more inclined to return the favour.

Or rather, you didn’t quite reach your limit! That’s why just two more ‘likes’ triggered that message.

It seems to be a rolling daily limit. If you wait an hour or two you should find that you can react to some more posts.

thanks @Alfred - that makes a lot more sense why there's a limit and how the limit works like a rolling quota.

Thank you for sacrificing one of your "likes" for my measly post and thereby boosting of my reputation. Your generosity has not gone unnoticed
Have a great day!
