Overall design of displaying responses
(this section is a stub)

This section is for collecting examples related to the overall design of which kinds of responses to display where, in what order, as part of a post. Once we have "enough" examples we can hopefully discern which designs are better than others and document some best practices.

Twitter responses UI criticism

 * Bad displaying responses UI example from Twitter: https://twitter.com/KennyGesserit/status/1605930553752035328
 * "UI design is my passion" @KennyGesserit December 22, 2022

 * "What the hell is this why is it 5 rows tall?? The average user didn’t want this" @KennyGesserit December 22, 2022 

Tweet example of responses text equivalents
Meant humorously, but also illustrated a possible way to POSSE a static snapshot of responses summary numbers:

 * "Sir, let me show you how to sort an array in Java script. 🗨️ 123k ♻️ 1.3M ❤️ 23.6M" @jwcarroll January 24, 2023

IndieWeb Examples
See the lists on each of the specific response post type pages.

This section is for examples that show a wide variety of response post types.

has a good example of a photo post with responses from Twitter (via Bridgy), and various Mastodon profiles on different servers: https://aaronparecki.com/2019/01/11/28/
 * "How did we let the Web get to this point. All I wanted to do was read this blog post." @Aaron Parecki January 11, 2019

Silo Examples
Nearly all silos (Twitter or Facebook for example) support some forms of interaction.

History
There was some discussion to get rough consensus around what to call the set of things that is replies/comments, reposts/reshares, likes/favorites. This resulted in deciding on the term "responses" as well as "reactions".
