I'm with Dave here. The IETF has a long history of guessing wrong
about UX design.
I don't think this is quite fair or quite accurate. It's more like the IETF
ends up being, as the saying goes, "not even wrong".
What I mean by this is that all too often the UX concerns the IETF attempts to
address don't have much in common with the actual UX issues implementors end up
facing.
I think we actually agree, but I didn't express it very well. It's one
thing to say this is a way to send emoji intended to be displayed as
reactions to prior messages, another to offer advice about how that
display might work.
The concerns being expressed here about the things "spammers" will do that the
UX needs to guard against are a case in point. ...
Piling on a little, while spammers don't target individuals, spear
phishers do. On the other hand I am not coming up with any plausible
scenarios where sending an emoji would be an effective way to spear
phish, or any advice different from the advice about any spear phish.
We do occasionally see examples of people doing drive-by bulk posts to
mailing lists, e.g. the Free Software Foundation occasionally dislikes
something they think the IETF is planning, and a bunch of people show up
to send one or two cookie cutter messages. We haven't had trouble dealing
with that, and again I don't see reactions making it any worse.
