Leaving a reaction emoji automatically causes an upvote to be given to the post, even if I've already downvoted the post.

I don't know if this behaviour is intentional or a side-effect of the reaction not being a first-class supported feature of lemmy, but could this be fixed? It means sometimes I have upvoted posts that are objectionable simply because I left a reaction emoji on them.

Thanks!

Might be for compatibility reasons with the wider Fediverse?

Lemmy made an early decision to reuse "likes"/"stars" from Mastodon as upvotes and this comes with certain down-sides as they are really not the same.
