Reactions #1695

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The problem from my POV is about bots. Right now when you don't want your bot to spam the chat you make it whisper, but when someone does a command and it just whispers it's weird, because there is no response seen for other users. Reactions would solve that. Obviously reactions would be good for normal users as well.

Describe the solution you'd like Reactions similar to Discord. You click on a message, choose react and choose an emoji to react with.

This isn't possible right now because sending a message just sends a websocket message to everybody in the room. It doesn't store anything in the backend that could hold all the reactions. Would be nice to have tho and is implementable, it just requires a lot of work in the backend to get it working.

It is possible though to store an id of every message and a WebSocket message that says that this person reacted to that messasge which might be a better solution.
